Dog Walking Bancroft

About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.

“Halona was great with my two dogs and made sure they were both tired from their walk & happily settled in before leaving. She’s great and I would highly recommend!”

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Breann is fabulous! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful with anxious pets. A godsend”

About: I can provide you with peace of mind and your fur baby lots of attention and love while you’re away. I enjoy hiking and take daily walks on the Iron Horse Trail (and would love it if your pet joined me🐾). I’ve previously volunteered at animal shelters, have grown up with dogs, had a dog of my own for the past 10 years, and was even a Junior Docent at a zoo! I’ve been taking care of animals (dogs and cats specifically) for many years now. My schedule and day revolves around their needs and exercise. I always make sure to spend time outside and interact with them to make sure they know they’re loved. In my clients home I would care for their pets by first establishing what their feeding schedule is, where the food is kept, and any/all quirks your pet might have!

About: I have had dogs since I can remember and raised a puppy when I was a teenager. I house sit and watch my family and friends dogs often. I have a cat of my own and love her to pieces. I've administered insulin shots to my parents elderly dog and have even taken him to vet visits. I love all animals no matter what shape or size or species. I know leaving your family member in the hands of a stranger can be stressful and I try to make that experience as stress free as possible. I am overly communicative and extremely cautious with your animals! Lots of pics and updates included! I would love to help you with yours! I am currently very flexible and would love to gain long term clients with regularly scheduled daily walks and then move to overnight visits once trust is established and I get to know your animal more! I would not be able to take any pets into my own home. I am happy to walk even your run pups or do mid day check ins for cats or more!

About: Every walk is a new experience for a dog, even if it's in familiar territory, and I enjoy helping a dog to have a great one. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for 30+ years and walked them in a professional sense for five. A few of the settings I've enjoyed with dogs are parks, beaches, forests, downtowns, and suburban areas. For most of the year, I am available: Monday morning & evening; Tuesday morning & evening; Wednesday thru Friday mornings only; Saturday most of day; Sunday all day. In a client's home, I will follow the directions of the pet parent and leave it as I found it, as well as making sure the property is secure.

About: Experiences: I have worked at Bishop Ranch Veterinary, Canyonwyck Kennels, Danville Paw Spa, DogMah Spa, Wunderbar’s Pet Hotel, NomNom and now have branched out to doing dog boarding! So yeah, I know a thing or two about dogs lol. Not including my family’s long list of pets that I have cared for throughout the years. In fact it wasn’t always about working with anything dog related. Prior to that I have worked as a flight planner for Lufthansa, British Airways World Cargo & Emirates from Freight Forwarding companies. I also own a few rental properties as well. I had to follow my heart and change career, and little did I know that what I did as a kid is what I was really meant to do now. Just all grown up! ** Because of my pack, my clients have mentioned that their dog has developed socialization skills!** About me: I simply L-O-V-E dogs! What can I say.. Fun, loyal and loving. Through my life's journey, my dog Pennie has brought out the best in me. She was a blessing in disguise. I loved her so much that I thanked God everyday for blessing me with such an amazing dog. Who understood me and yet still continued to love ME at the end of each day no matter what. She was definitely one of many that meant everything to me. She has my heart. And she is the REASON why I do what I do. Now our pack has grown! Ellie, Tinkerbell, Bailey, Coco, Gizmo and Arya has made our lives EVEN better and kept Pennie feeling young =). Of course when their sissy was still here. But I don’t doubt that she isn’t still bossing them around wherever she is! I decided to dedicate the time I have in taking care of other people's dogs because I understand what their needs and expectations are. Genuinely speaking from the past of wanting to travel or if dogs weren't allowed, in addition could not find anyone that met my needs without the constant worry was stressful enough. It’s because I adore them so much that I really just wanted someone honest to take care of them. Not to say that anybody I knew was not trustworthy, but more so wouldn't just focus on the money itself. For me it’s not work. It is my life. And I found my purpose in caring for dogs. Schedule: I’m a new stay at home mom to our baby girl! Therefore I have a bit more free time to exchange and make up for lost times. From belly rubs, to playing, to cuddling. Everything that a dog needs in life! Safety environment: We have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play, run and potty! Our house has plenty of room to roam around or just lounge. We have baby gates set up blocking certain rooms, making it easier to keep an eye on everyone. Feeding times are always monitored as well as indoor and any outdoor activities. If you have any questions, send me a message! -Rachel #DOGMom

About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I split my time between providing services on Rover, and working at Contra Costa Animal Services. A portion of my proceeds from bookings is donated to the shelter each month.🐶🐱💕 I have open availability 7 days a week, Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. I keep my calendar updated regularly. Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home and require access to one bathroom. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when my stay is over.

“Great, friendly walker. Will book again.”

About: Hello, I board, house sit, and walk dogs for fun. I am a well-established professional and I love all dogs. Dogs are my therapy. My pup is a Black Labrador retriever. I have a large house and large fenced back yard. I have a doggy door and dogs can come in and out as they please. I have lots of dog toys. Thanks for considering Rosie and I. My schedule is pretty open. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes and to dog friendly establishments. I am able to tailor pet care to each dogs specific needs. I have experience with senior dogs, disables dogs, and dogs with special medication needs I have a fenced yard and I do not board aggressive dogs or any dogs that are labeled a dangerous breed (although I don't exactly subscribe to that label)

About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.

About: I’ve literally never lived without a pet — cats and dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them feels second nature. I offer thoughtful cat care and reliable dog walks, with an approach that’s calm, observant, and tailored to each pet’s personality. I know cats need patience and routine 😌, while many dogs thrive on consistent walks and positive energy. My goal is simple: you feel relaxed while you’re away, and your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I currently work from home and can bring my laptop with me if need be but I also have plenty of time in between my calls/tasks to dedicate time to the care of your pet :) I have time and I’d love to do it spending time with your pets. I show up ready to give your pets calm, attentive care — feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, walks, and playtime as they like it. I let cats lead the interaction and follow dogs’ routines, making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I send updates (and photos!) so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
