Sniff San Francisco Hello Gorgeous! Welcome to our official page. Follow us here and on Instagram We empower dogs and their owners to grow and thrive.

Sniff San Francisco is a locally owned dog walking, training and boarding company. Our approach to dog care is refreshingly different and is predicated on a simple precept of engagement. We engage not only the dogs under our care but also their moms and dads, our clients. We take a long-term view of our relationship with each client and think of it as a partnership. Our engagement begins when we t

ext you to let you know that we are arriving on foot to walk your dog to the park. We each pick up 3 to 4 dogs and arrive at the park at the same time. Our person-to-dog ratio is 1:4, not 1:8 like most dog walkers in San Francisco. At the park, we have multiple sets of eyes and ears which is what enables us to:

- Supervise dogs in play, whether it’s playful bouts of wrestling, chases, keep-away or fetch;

- Incorporate training. We are constantly reinforcing and expanding a dog’s working verbal and gestural vocabulary;

- Track the whereabouts of every dog to ensure safety; and

- Use reward-based methods, such as wholesome freeze-dried treats, high-pitched praise and various forms of affection to promote positive behavior. We socialize and work with dogs to modify behavior in a pleasurable, constructive manner. We framed Sniff around a core value of providing superior, responsible dog care. Everyday, we strive to provide a clean, safe and fun environment for beloved canines to develop into well-socialized members of your family. Hopefully, you’ll feel our approach and thoughtfulness reflect a paradigm shift that fundamentally transforms the very soul of dog care.

💜🧙‍♀️🎃🧛‍♂️👏 What a barnstormer of a Howl-o-ween Costume parade over the weekend! We were treated to so many outstanding entries. The vote counts for the top five ✋ were so incredibly close that it is impossible to crown just one winner. Swiftie Zion, most regrettably, missed out on the top five by a single vote. Things don’t appear to bode well for the lucky finalists. Will they survive to collect their prizes 🫢🫣?

The finalists 🏆 include:

Archie as Captain Hook
Moppet as a S’more
Penny as the Cowardly Lion
Wally as the Cookie Monster
Ziggy as Ken

Hugs all round as we welcome 9 m.o. to the Sniff crew! This sweet girl struck up instant friendships at her very first day of school, warming our hearts and wrestling her way onto every pup’s friends list. Just ask Sophie & 🤗. We’ve been rewarding Lulu’s check-ins on our walks and at the park. It’s heartening to see her recall coming leaps and bounds! 👏

Beyond proud of our very own ! If those incredible  trophies aren’t enough motivation to reach the podium, we don’t know...

🦁🦁 What an embarrassment of floofy riches as we welcome not one but two of the floofiest puppies to Sniff! 13 w.o. Goldendoodle Lupa is in her fourth week of our Puppy Head Start Program. She is learning all the important commands and is getting socialized to all manners of the big, wide world. Meanwhile, 5 m.o. Cockapoo Cocoa joined our crew earlier this week. Cocoa sparks joy with his impressive repertoire of romp skills. Together, they’ll be ready to take on the world, one friend at a time.

Harefooted Schnoodle Dash has been dazzling his new classmates with exquisite twirls, explosive zoomies, and the most extraordinary facebitey romps ever since he found his Sniff calling last month. We love how attentive & sweet he is, and his confidence is growing with every outing!

Young English Cream retriever Zion squirmed his way onto the Sniff scene this Spring, quickly catapulting himself as a mainstay in the lazy, facebitey romp arena. His gentle, floppy demeanor and his easy-going play style is loved by many of his classmates, including , & Bruno!

Find me a puppy who can do it all! At 8 months old and 12 weeks since joining Sniff, , the Renaissance Pup, spends his weekdays in the company of classmates, honing his playcraft and adapting to different energies and play styles. No dog, big or small, is left unfriended. Plus, he's gaining confidence, little by little, to the city's sights and sounds. They sure can be scary. On weekends, he’s all about enriching his life by exploring the great outdoors. He’s been spotted exploring beaches 🏖, rivers 🛶, and national parks 🌲. We are so proud of you, Pablito!

Young goddess Athena came to Sniff at the dawn of 2022, ready to impart her wisdom & hone her facebitey romp warcraft with her puppy-pals-to-be. Three months on, at just nine months of age, she has mastered her name recall & continues to spin and weave her way into her friends’ hearts.

Mooloo 🦭: “What an honor to be included in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Middle School’s Career Fair last week! We were invited to talk with a group of endearing sixth graders about the importance of a well-rounded education and how our team applies what we have learned at college into creating and building Sniff. Of course, I’m just a harbor seal so I brought my dad Jimbo along who did most of the talking while I was being suitably pampered.”
