Pet Sitting Alamo

About: My life has always been my dogs. I have been taking care of dogs and other pets my entire life and it's truly my life's purpose. I have experience with all breeds especially elderly chihuahuas and timid breeds. No breed is too difficult for me. I have experience with rescuing and fostering for the past 15 years as well as volunteering at shelters. I've been exposed to all different backgrounds, personalities, sizes and breeds. No matter what all dogs are good dogs it's just matter of giving them the attention they need and that's what I'm here to help you with! I'm an avid hiker and walker for my two boys and will customize play time and amount of exercise to your baby. I'll make sure you get pictures and updates and can promise I'll do anything to make sure you furry child has a doggone good time! I have a flexible schedule currently and will be attending school in the spring. At the moment I am available mostly between 11am-10 pm Monday-Saturday. I can do mornings on occasion or Sundays if necessary. Don't hesitate to ask and I will always see what I can do. My dogs get fed twice a day and get their preferred treats. They get daily walks and 2-3 hiking adventures a week. They are very different temperaments and energy so I am used to tailoring their exercise routine accordingly. I will care for your pets in a similar way or as needed and agreed upon during our communications. I am very in tune and attentive to what your pets needs are. I will respect the rules set forth by the client and most importantly make sure your pet is cared for and truly enjoyed their time. I will always do my best to leave your loved one in a better state than when I arrived making sure all their needs are met including any meds, feeding, treats, water and waste removal and exercise. If you have special requests please let me know.

“My dog is so happy when Bar shows up at our door! Zibby gets good exercise and is always panting when she gets home, which is literally what the doctor ordered! Zibby loves her and what more could you ask for?”

About: I work from home, which means your pet gets something most sitters can't offer: a human who's actually there all day. I do house sitting in your home and drop-in visits across Walnut Creek and nearby areas. I grew up with dogs and cats, have helped friends and family with everything from puppies to senior dogs, and recently welcomed a cat into my own home. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving medication exactly as you instruct — including pets with special routines or medical needs. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's habits and preferences so the routine doesn't skip a beat. While you're away, you'll get regular photo updates so you can see they're relaxed and happy. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits around your pet's routine — not the other way around. For house sitting, I'm there through the day and overnight; for drop-ins, we'll lock in visit times before booking so feeding and walks stay consistent. Your home and your pet's routine stay exactly as you left them. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet to cover temperament, medications, feeding, quirks, and emergency contacts. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I'll send photo updates and messages so you're never wondering how they're doing.

“Matt was awesome. He’s a great guy and took care of our dog perfectly. Matt was prompt and very caring with our senior dog. We highly recommend Matt.”

“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”

“Elizabeth will definitely be my first call next time I go out of town! She sent cute pictures and helpful updates throughout my trip and I came home to the most content cat. Thank you for taking such good care of him!!”

About: I have two dogs of my own and have been pet sitting since I was 11. I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals from dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and hamsters. I have experience training puppies and have been to many puppy training classes for my own dogs. I enjoy walking my dogs around my neighborhood and have experience walking other peoples dogs. I am a student currently so have plenty of availability! I can work around your schedule to help find a time that works best for you! I keep an around the clock watch on my clients dogs to ensure their safety and give them lots of love and play time to keep them happy and satisfied. I refill their water as needed and make sure to feed them as my clients have instructed me to. I usually take my clients dogs on walks in the morning and in the evening to keep them active and stimulated. This changes per client and their dogs needs. I can give medication to my clients dogs if they have any. If grooming and hygiene is requested by clients, I can fulfill their needs (ex: brushing, bathing, drying, brushing teeth).

About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.

“You were very much appreciated. We ended up being out a little longer than we expected. Lexi was in great spirits when we returned. The pics were great updates. Thank you! We look forward to your help next week with Logan!”

“Kelly did a fantastic job. I had a last minute request - she was very accommodating and communicative. She even did some puppy crate training as a bonus! We are new to using Rover and I'm grateful Kelly was able to help! I highly recommend her!”

About: My family has always had multiple pets since I was born. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 9. My family who I live with currently has a year old Labradoodle puppy and a 3 year old Labrador but I do not have any pets of my own at the moment so I can give your pets my full love and attention. Friends and family have asked me to petsit at their houses since I was in high school because they knew how much I loved animals. I have experience walking, feeding, and bathing both cats and dogs. I have trained puppies and dogs basic commands, potty training, tricks and crate training. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats and can administer medicine both orally and through the ear. I also have experience handling pets of various temperaments such as anxious or energetic pets. As a dog and cat lover, I have done my research on how to best care for them so I have confidence in my skills and experience. I have a flexible, day job that allows me to easily manage a routine for your pets depending on their needs and care specifics. I am used to balancing multiple things at once such as school, a job, and owning a dog.

“Really fast follow-up, photos and details in her notes. Can tell she really likes pets and has a passion for caring for others loved pets. Highly recommend!!”

“Kamila was very knowledgeable and understood what was needed for my critters. She also sent pictures and updates and asked questions when needed. Very happy with Kamila and definitely book again next time.”

About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! I am a full time Explosives/Firearms detection K9 Handler. I work M-F, 0700-1500. My weekends are very flexible! I can usually work most clients and dogs into my full time schedule very easily. I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!

About: I have two years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding, administering medication, and following detailed care instructions to ensure each dog receives proper care and attention. I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and take pride in providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I work full-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks every day before and after work. My schedule can vary, so I’m happy to discuss specific times when booking to make sure I can give your pup the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs they may have. I also treat each client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, making sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.

“JP did a great job with my cats!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including a Mini Goldendoodle and a Maltese, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve also dog-sat for many different dogs, ranging from family members’ pets to friends and friends-of-friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and routines. I truly love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I enjoy giving them the attention, affection, and routine they need to feel comfortable and happy. While I don’t currently have a pet living with me, that means I can fully focus on giving your dog personalized care, plenty of love, and a safe, welcoming environment. I work from 8:00 am to 12pm every day from Monday to Friday! However I am free on the weekends. I am more than willing to adjust and be flexible with times! I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. I take time to get to know every pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime preferences, and any special instructions closely. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and lots of attention, and I’m always happy to provide updates to keep owners informed and at ease.

About: I grew up in Southern California, and my job has taken me all across the country, so I’m thrilled to finally be back home! I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always loved having animals around, so getting to spend time with your furry friend feels like a win-win. Need to run errands or head out of town for a night? Your buddy gets to tag along with me for the day! I’d be more than happy to take your pup on runs, hikes, or walks around the area and help them get plenty of exercise before settling in for a cozy night. Whether your pet loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ve cared for elderly dogs who needed extra accommodations, as well as energetic pups who needed a little more attention and activity. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very flexible and would love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I am active duty in the US Coast Guard and I work daily from 0730 - 1500. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet after work! I make sure to follow their routine and keep them as comfortable as possible by respecting their space in your home. I am happy to take them out of the house and go for walks or find ways to play in the house/backyard!
