Dog Walking in Alum Rock

“This is the second time I've entrusted Sam with my dog Goose. Sam is uber reliable and I appreciate how quick and easy it is to communicate with her and the love she gives to my dog, beyond walking him--sits with him, makes sure he is calm, etc. Leaving the dog alone is stressful for me and the dog but Sam takes some of the stress out of it (for both of us!)”

“She's awesome, can handle my 3 bog dogs on a walk and they loved her! I have an intact high strung German Shepard, a crazy malinois, and an old boxer pittie mix. She can handle your big breeds!”

Felisha E.

“Shawna took Penelope and Drexl on an hour walk to tire them out before people arrived at our house for dinner. She did a fantastic job and it worked! They loved the walk and they were nice and sleepy and mellow all evening. I would definitely hire her again. She was really good with excitable Penelope and shy Drexl.”

Hibah M.

“Savannah was great with my dogs. Very professional and takes great care of the pups”

“Hope has walked our dog multiple times now, that too on short notices. She is punctual, reliable and very friendly. Our dog loves going on walks with her. Would 100% recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. I grew up in a home full of animals, including our family dogs, cats, and a sweet cockatiel, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I truly enjoy taking care of animals like they’re part of the family. I have open availability and can easily work around your schedule, whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or holidays. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate last minute needs whenever possible. I care for pets like they’re my own following their routine, giving them love, play, and comfort. I keep things clean, calm, and cozy so they feel safe and happy.

About: I have a deep understanding and patience for dogs of all personalities, especially those who are anxious or struggle when their owners are away. I have a natural connection with dogs and believe in giving them the space, reassurance, and care they need to feel comfortable. I actually enjoy working with more sensitive or reactive dogs, taking the time to listen to their needs and build trust rather than forcing interactions. Beyond that, I have experience with all stages of a dog’s life. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling and special attention. My childhood dog lived to be 14, and I was with her every step of the way, making sure she was comfortable and cared for in her final years. That experience taught me how to accommodate aging dogs with mobility issues, medication schedules, and extra TLC. What sets me apart is my ability to meet dogs where they are—whether they need extra patience, structure, or just a calm presence. I don’t just show up to walk or sit; I genuinely care about each dog’s well-being and want them to feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly—I’m available before 12 PM and after 5 PM on weekdays, as well as anytime on weekends. Whether it’s morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend sitting, I can easily work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need. I understand the importance of consistency for pets, so I make sure to be reliable and present when they need me. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible—whether that means feeding them at their usual times, following specific walking routes, or keeping up with any special care needs like medication or training reinforcement. I pay close attention to their body language and mood, adjusting how I interact with them to match their energy. For anxious pets, I provide a calm, reassuring presence without overwhelming them, and for high-energy dogs, I make sure they get enough playtime and stimulation to keep them happy. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is in good hands. In My Home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a calm and clean space to relax in. My home has a large, open room with plenty of space for them to settle in comfortably, plus a backyard for fresh air and a nearby park for walks and playtime. I keep the environment low-stress, free of anything that might make them anxious, and I tailor their stay to what makes them feel most at home. Whether they prefer lounging in a quiet corner, playing outside, or just having some company, I make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away.

About: (Will also watch dogs in the 20s lb. range). Being a stay at home mom with four children (ages range from 15-7), your dog will get the attention s/he needs.
