Hi, I'm Francisco, owner of East Bay Pack Walks. My passion for dogs comes from hands-on experience with rescue dogs, including my own foster-to-adopt dog, Daisy. When I first met her, she struggled with severe separation anxiety and was considered not dog-friendly. Through training, structure, and patience, she grew into a happy, confident dog who now lives peacefully with another rescued dog. I provide structured pack walks, private walks, and transportation services throughout the East Bay. My focus is safety, reliability, and making every walk a positive experience for both dogs and their owners.

Over 20 years experience! Dogs, cats, small pets & reptiles and some farm animals. I became a full-time traveling house sitter in July 2020 and have thoroughly enjoyed this as I love to travel and staying in different homes to care for their pets. I work remotely as an insurance auditor so I am home often. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising 6 days a week as I am a retired triathlete.

I started Rad Rover because I want to help those who want to do better for their dogs who wouldn't otherwise have access to this kind of support. Compassion for people wanting to do better for their dogs is just as important as compassion for our animals. Using trauma informed care strategies that I previously learned and used while working in nonprofit housing, I aim to help educate and build relationships with people about their dogs needs. Unlike a lot of local walkers, we are breed inclusive and understand that people are products of their situations and context. If you're looking to learn more about how you can do better for your dog, Rad Rover wants to help you get there!
