Commercial Dog Walking

Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) welcomes commercial dog walkers carrying a Commercial Use Authorization in designated park areas in Marin and San Francisco County.

Commercial dog walkers can walk 4 to 6 dogs at one time (no more than 6 dogs can be walked at a time) and are permitted use of any GGNRA lands in Marin and San Francisco County where dog walking is allowed. If you bring dogs to Golden Gate National Recreation Area, please protect the dogs, other people, and park resources by abiding by regulations in the Superintendent's Compendium and Exhibits (maps) on the Laws & Policies webpage.

Requirements:

Certain requirements must be met in order to be issued a Commercial Use Authorization. Where possible, GGNRA follows the same requirements as the county jurisdictions in which the commercial dog walking will take place. If you will be conducting commercial dog walking in both San Francisco and Marin Counties, you will need to meet the requirements for both counties.
