Our services
Welcome to Urban Breed!
We are a San Francisco based off leash dog walking company. We service the northern side of the city and our service area goes from the Baker beach side of the Presidio, the Marina, Cow Hollow, the Western Addition all the way to the Cole Valley area. We offer a reliable solution to your dog walking needs. We’re open Monday - Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm rain or shine. Weekend walks are subject to walker availability. We offer pricing plans for those who are in need of walks 5 days a week as well as those who prefer part-time services. We also offer pet boarding and house sitting services.
Off-Leash Pack walks
For the pups who need more than your average on-leash walk through the city!
Prior dog training recommended before sign up but not required. Our pack walks are an hour long and the majority of them are held off-leash. The average off-leash pack walk is a combination of 15 - 20 minutes of on-leash walking and 40-45 minutes of off-leash play. We structure our walks by letting the dogs off in 2's to go potty. Once they go potty they're free roam and the next dog gets let off leash in their place. After all the dogs have handled their business, the toys come out and the real fun begins. There the pups get to explore the land, play fetch, wrestle, chase, and go for a hike if were on the trails. After our off-leash time is up, we round up and head back to the car for clean up.
Off leash preparation
All new clients must have a harness for their dog before their trial walk/start of service.
Preparing a new dog for off leash play usually takes about 2 weeks. The first week will be held on leash. during the first week, we will asses your dog energy level, monitor their behavior on leash, preforming basic training drills and build trust between your dog and the walker.
After the first week, we begin slowly letting your dog off leash. We do this by attaching a 16 foot "long-line" to your dogs harness. By using the long-line, it allows your dog to have the freedom of off leash play while giving your walker the security to rein them in if their energy gets too wild, they get into an altercation or if they're showing signs of running away. Depending on how they do on the second week, your dog can be cleared to be fully off leash without the use of the long line. If your pup is prone to running away, doing thing like eating mud or rolling in a stinky mess, they'll just keep the long line on for as long as your walker sees fit.
Meet and Greets
For all new clients. The average meet and greet takes about 15 - 30 minutes. During those 15 - 30 minutes you'll get to meet your walker/sitter and give them an early opportunity to bond with your dog before the start of service. They will also go over what the average day looks like out with them, talk about policy, pricing, what plan you will be choosing and other availability if needed.
If you are looking for house sitting services we'll come to you. There you can introduce us to the pup, show us the place and give us a rundown on your dog's feeding and walk schedule at home. ​
​
Please make sure to fill out the proper paperwork for your desired service.
Trial walks
Trial walks are always free and must be booked before starting and confirming service.
Trial walks are for all new monthly subscribing and boarding clients. They are an introduction for you and your dog as to what an average day looks like when subscribing to our off leash dog walking service. They also give us a chance to evaluate your dog's training base line, their play style, how they get along with the existing pack and how they interact with the community.
All new clients must have a harness for their dog before their trial/start of service.
​
During the trial, we'll pick up your dog during your chosen pick up window. We'll pop them in the front seat to give your dog and the pack some space to sniff each and the security of a doggy fence to keep them safe from incidents. Once we get to the walk location, we'll leash up the dogs and slowly introduce your pup to each pack member before starting the walk. Once walking your dog will stay on leash for the majority if the walk. The pack will be let off leash where they'll get to introduce themselves to your pup on their own as a whole. As the rest of the pack goes on to sniff around and play with each other, you walker will start working 1 - on -1 with your dog to begin forming a bond that is crucial to off leash walking. After the walk, we'll round up and start heading home.
