The Neighborhood

A village under a hill, with one of the city's best dog parks on top

Bernal Heights wraps around Bernal Hill, a rocky open hilltop topped by a radio tower and one of the largest off-leash dog play areas in San Francisco. The neighborhood has a real village feel, with Cortland Avenue as its main street and Holly Park anchoring the south side.

For us, walks happen on the residential streets right around your home. We're not running destination expeditions to the Bernal Hill summit or its off-leash area. The focus is private, on-leash walks on the blocks your dog already knows, with a steady routine that fits their age and energy.

The housing is mostly cottages, single-family homes, and stair-entry flats. Our walkers handle access during onboarding so getting in and out is never a daily friction.

Walking Under the City's Most Loved Hill

Private walks on the residential blocks below Bernal Hill.

Hill-paced routing

The streets below Bernal Hill climb hard in places. We pick the gentler residential blocks for senior dogs and the steeper grades for dogs who can handle them, all within a short walk of your front door.

Private and on-leash, always

No off-leash zones, no destination expeditions, no other dogs in the picture. Just your dog, a trained walker, and the residential blocks around your home.

Cottage and flat access

Cottages, single-family homes, stair-entry flats. We set up access during onboarding so daily pickups happen without delay.
