Dog Walking Alamo Oaks

“Stephanie treats my dog like her own! She always goes above and beyond! She’s amazing!”

Shannon N.

“Stephanie was on time for daisies three times a day visits and sent plenty of pictures with notes while I was away. She even walked Daisy longer than I requested :). I would definitely use Stephanie again if I ever need someone.!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.

About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.

About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog and cat lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. Our home is a safe, loving, and active environment where pets are treated like family. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up for belly rubs, we'll tailor their stay to help them feel comfortable and at home. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a fun, stress-free experience for your pet and make them excited to come back for their next visit! Pet care fits naturally into our family's daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am only in the office three days a week, while my husband is in and out throughout the day, so there is typically someone home to provide attention, potty breaks, meals, and companionship. Our evenings are centered around walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs, and we make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get outside and stay active throughout the day. On weekends, we're home more often, which means even more time for exercise, cuddles, and fun. We understand how important consistency is for pets, so we do our best to maintain each dog's normal routine and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel like part of the family. When pets stay in our home, they become part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having canine companions and helps visiting dogs feel welcome, while we always make sure introductions are done safely and at each dog's comfort level. We follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quieter environment with extra cuddles, we tailor our care to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Regular photo and video updates are always included so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay.

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!

“Joe was very punctual and communicative with us as he walked our two pups. We are very happy to come across his profile and we will be using him again in the future. Thank you Joe!”

About: I have grown up caring for dogs and cats and I started pet sitting at 12 years of age! I am responsible, I pay close attention to small details, and I will love your pet like my own! I am a helper and want to make your life easier! Whether you’re gone at work or on vacation, I want you to know that your animal is safe and loved while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule and can do drop in visits, overnight visits, and dog walking! Right when I walk in the door, I’ll say hi and give the animal attention if they want it. I read the room to see if it will be a cheerful introduction or a more mellow hello. I make sure that all their needs are taken care of and that they get extra love before I go! I play ball and go on walks for fun exercise with the dogs! I play with cats and love on them too! I also know about animal behavior from past jobs and volunteer puppy raising for future service dogs, so I understand when an animal needs a break or a boundary made- with me or others.

About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.

“Daryl is amazing and so sweet with my pup!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and appreciation for animals! I previously had my sweet potato (my yellow lab Jake) and my little baby (my guinea pig Peanut). They meant the world to me, I miss them every day. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Whether I’m meeting friendly dog while out in public or watching adorable dog videos, they never fail to brighten my day! Having loved and lost my own pets, I understand how precious they are and how important it is to know they’re in caring hands. I would treat every pet with the same love, patience, kindness, and attention that I gave Jake and Peanut. To me, caring for animals isn’t just a job, it’s an opportunity to share my love with furry friends and help their owners feel confident that their beloved companions are being treated like family. Pet care is something I’m excited to incorporate into my weekly routine! I deeply enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to make dog walking/sitting a regular part of my schedule. I’m currently balancing a job that I honestly hope to leave soon if Rover can work out for me. I have flexibility most days and can plan ahead for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting. My goal is to dedicate more time to pet care as I build relationships with clients and establish a consistent schedule. I’m happy to communicate availability in advance to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve! I currently live with my grandparents, but I am happy to stay my clients house. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, my priority is making sure they safe, comfortable, and loved! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I would carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if applicable), and any special care requirements. I would also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and fresh water. I believe communication is important, so I would happily provide owners with updates and photos while they’re away. I would always treat their home with respect and make sure their pets are well cared for.

“Reliable, pleasant, communicative, and flexible. What more could one want?”

About: Experienced with petsitting for various friends and family over the years; I am a longtime animal lover and would love to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible and accommodating My work schedule is flexible currently, with full availability wednesday and thursday. Available to work both mornings and evenings for the majority of days in the week I currently care for a 6 year old german shepherd, and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats! I am responsible and diligent and will care for your pets as if they were my own :)

About: I've been dog-sitting for friends and family before I even had my own dog (14 years and going!). I think of myself as efficient and clean, so I'll be sure to arrive on time and leave a place the same, if not cleaner, than when I arrived. I'm communicative, and will keep pet-parents as updated as possible, and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty if needed (I bring my own gloves). And of course, I will shower your pet(s) with as much love and/or treats as possible (or prescribed)! I'm a pre-med/pre-PA student, working part-time for a clinic while taking classes at UCLA. My priority when pet-sitting is of course the pets, nothing will come before them. But if I'm dog-sitting for an extended time in your home, after all pets needs, I will probably just be studying on an iPad or laptop, and will always be ready at a moment's notice for anything. Unfortunately, I cannot take care of pets in my own home as my current housing agreement does not allow pets on the property. This may change in the future.

“Daria is very nice, communicative, and friendly. My dog liked her immediately. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her services again.”

About: We love meeting new dogs and making them feel at home, taking them for walks and playing, or just hanging out on the couch together. We are happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. My spouse and I work remotely and and are able to devote time to give your pet potty breaks, walks, and tons of attention to fully spoil them. We are available for doggy daycare and overnights on weekends or an occasional long weekend stay. We have a fully enclosed backyard with plenty of shade and sun for play and potty breaks. We have a dog of our own who can keep yours company or who can easily be kept separate in my large home. We can provide as many photos and updates as you would like, and we are happy to ensure all pet rules and routines are followed. Walks are always at the appropriate speed and length for the breed and age of your dog.

About: I always loved animals so much since I was little I wanted to become a vet until I found out how much science was involved...ha! My friends and family knew how much I loved animals that they would always go to me first to take care of their pets before bringing their furry family members to an animal daycare. I've watched over cats, birds, dogs (small and large breeds) and even helped a young Doberman mama take care of her beautiful 7 pup litter for 4 weeks until they were adopted at 6 weeks old. I also have a special love for horses, so I have taken care of horses but light work such as cleaning, riding, and restocking the hay. I work from home so I'm very flexible in terms of caring for animals. So during the day I can take them out for walks, cleaning, feeding, etc. I don't have any animals myself (yet) so if your fur baby is shy or uncomfortable around other animals, you don't have to worry about that with me. I also have a fenced yard with enough space for your animal to roam around...although I prefer to go to the pet owner's house as the animal will feel more comfortable in their own environment and also because my mom tends to have animal allergies, so for her comfort, I rather go to the owner's house.

About: We adore animals of all kinds. We have hardwood floors for accidents, and filtered water. We have a fenced yard for running around with our kids and potty, always allow indoor access, and we don’t leave your pet alone. James has volunteered at the Dog Shelter for years, has CPR/Rescue training(for humans) and an understanding of CPR and first aid for dogs. After many years of dog sitting, we've welcomed a variety of different dogs (around 50+ at last count) into our home. We have administered eye creams, injections, and many other medicines. We don't clip nails. We are happy to send pictures and videos and even facetime or video chat by request. James works from home, and we typically go for two walks a day so we are always happy to have a guest pet with us. We have thoughtfully organized our home to avoid dangerous substances, escape issues, and to ensure maximum joy and safety! We would love to give you a tour during a meet and greet.

About: I worked for 18 months in a boarding facility for cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all ages of pets. I can administer medications. I have experience with reactive dogs. I personally have two senior cats and an 8 year old dog. I have been dogsitting and catsitting for six years. I am a full time student but have a large amount of flexibility between classes and am completely free on the weekends. I will keep my calendar updated. I do not take pets into my home as my dog is reactive, however I am very thoughtful in the homes of others. I am happy to walk familiar routes or try something new with your friend. I will always do a meet and greet before a long time stay to ensure me and the animal can bond. I can work with your schedule.
