Michelle Lukban - Pro Dog Walker - San Francisco, CA

Member since Sep 2018

If you're looking for a dedicated dog walker in the Twin Peaks area of San Francisco, you've come to the right place! With 45 years of pet ownership and a deep-rooted passion for animals, I have honed my skills over the past decade of providing personalized dog walking services. I specialize in walking dogs of all sizes—from those weighing under 20 lbs to larger breeds up to 79 lbs. I believe in quality over quantity, which is why I limit my group walks to just three dogs. This approach ensures that each furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve.

I am proud to hold multiple certifications that enhance my ability to provide exceptional care. As a Certified Canine Massage Practitioner (CCMP) and a Certified Canine Massage Therapist (CCMT), I bring a unique perspective to dog walking, understanding the physical needs and well-being of your pets. Additionally, I am bonded and insured, and I hold certifications from the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and the International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork (IAAMB). My commitment to pet health and safety is paramount, and my experience with various animal personalities allows me to tailor my services to meet their individual needs.

In addition to my in-person services, I also offer online consultations to discuss your pet's unique requirements and any special care they may need. Whether you have dogs, cats, or a combination of both, I’m here to help! With a travel radius that covers the beautiful Twin Peaks area, I’m ready to provide your pets with the love and attention they need while you’re busy. Ready to get started?
