Dog Walking Baylands

About: I’ve spent the last few years caring for dogs in many different situations — from energetic German Shepherds on a farm to the gentle white shepherd I rescued and raised myself. In 2021, I worked on a farm where I fed, cleaned, and played with four shepherds daily. When one of their puppies was seriously injured, I took him home, cared for him, and helped him recover fully. He has been with me ever since. Because of this experience, many friends now bring their dogs to me whenever they travel. I’m patient, responsible, and very comfortable with dogs who have different personalities or special needs. I truly love caring for animals, and I always treat every dog with the same level of attention and kindness I give to my own. My work schedule is flexible, so I can adjust my time based on your needs. Whether it’s afternoon, or evening visits, I’m able to plan my day around providing care for your dog. I prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. You can simply let me know your routine and any specific instructions, and I will follow them carefully. My goal is to keep your dog safe, relaxed, and happy while maintaining their normal schedule.

“Timmy absolutely loves his walks with Sierra! He’s always so excited to go with her, and I can tell how happy he is every time. They’re incredibly responsible, and the detailed updates and records they provide give me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Karem walked Kiara and our puppy came back happy! We will book again.”

“Andrew is hands-down one of the BEST sitters/walkers I’ve ever trusted my fur babies with. He’s kind, incredibly easy to work with, and a great communicator — quick responses, smooth coordination, thoughtful questions, and the CUTEST photo updates (which made my entire day) of my dog living his best life. Andrew is the kind of person you just know will treat your pets the way you would — honestly, in my case, even better. He didn't just take Nyoom for a quick stroll around the block; he gave my pup so much affection/love, extra time to play, explore, and get ALL the zoomies out. And even though I only booked a dog walk, he still took the time to check in on my cat and send a little check-in update about her too, which meant so much to me and speaks for his incredible genuine character. Andrew treated my pets like his own. His level of service and dedication made me feel like this wasn't just a gig to him. He truly loves pets and building bonds with them and their humans. That kind of care is rare. I’ve already rebooked him and have been recommending him to all my pet parent friends and family. He’s the kind of sitter your pet will sprint to the door for, and I’d book with him again in a heartbeat. 11/10!”

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”

“Shirley was wonderful! Our dog is super shy and Shirley had such a calm, gentle presence with her. We are so grateful to be able to entrust her with our baby when we’re away!”

“Alani is hands down one of the nicest people I have met in a while, and my two dogs fell completely in love with her! I broke my leg while my husband was out of town and was unable to walk my dogs and she literally came to my rescue. She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”

About: We have shared our home with dogs and cats for over 30 years. For more than two decades, we've served as a foster home for Furry Friends Rescue, caring for dogs and cats of every age, breed, temperament, and medical need while they waited for their forever homes. That kind of fostering means we've handled it all: bottle-feeding newborn kittens, house-training anxious rescue puppies, managing senior pets with arthritis or special diets, and giving extra patience to animals recovering from neglect or trauma. We know how to read an animal's body language, spot early signs something's wrong, and adjust our approach to fit each pet's personality rather than expecting them to adjust to us. We no longer have pets of our own, which means your pet gets our full attention, energy, and home, without competing with a resident dog or cat for space or affection. Our house is calm, comfortable, and set up for animals to feel safe. We do still have foster cats that are friendly with other animals. Whether your pet needs a quiet, structured routine, extra TLC, or just an experienced hand who won't be fazed by anything, we've likely already seen it and handled it with care. Pet care isn't squeezed into our schedule, it is our schedule. Both of us are home full-time, with no kids and no pets of our own, so your dog(s) or cat(s) gets our undivided attention rather than fitting in around a job or a household routine. With two of us in the home, we can cover any schedule your animal needs, whether that's specific feeding times, medication a few times a day, or simply consistent company and playtime throughout the day. If one of us needs to step out, the other is always here, so your cat is never left alone for long. We're also equipped for whatever the situation calls for. We have crates and carriers on hand, and a large SUV if transport is ever needed, whether that's a vet visit, a pickup or drop-off, or anything else that comes up. Because we no longer have pets of our own, your cat isn't sharing our time, space, or attention with a resident animal. Our days are genuinely built around being available and present, which is exactly the kind of routine that comes from over 20 years of fostering. We own our home, which includes a large fenced yard and patio, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore outside. We have no neighboring animals, so there are no surprise fence-line encounters or added stress from unfamiliar pets nearby. For dogs, we get outside for walks every day, rain or shine, so your pet stays on their normal exercise routine even while away from home. Indoors, pets have the run of a calm, comfortable home rather than being confined to one room. We tailor our approach to each animal's personality, whether that means a structured routine, extra quiet time, or simply consistent companionship throughout the day. For longer stays we can send pictures too. We have an established relationship with our own veterinarian and are comfortable handling special needs animals, including pets on medication schedules, seniors with mobility or dietary needs, or animals recovering from illness or injury. This comes directly from over 20 years of fostering through Furry Friends Rescue, where we regularly cared for animals with medical or behavioral needs that required extra attention and consistency. Whatever the service, boarding, drop-in visits, or house sitting, your pet gets a safe, secure environment, plenty of space, and two experienced caregivers who know how to watch for and respond to their individual needs.

About: Hello my name is Hunter! Having grown up with dogs for over 20 years, I've had the joy of caring for pups of every shape and size. I have had dogs from 10 pound little ones to 130 pound gentle giants. Whether we are navigating the neighborhoods of Fremont or enjoying a leisurely stroll, I bring a lifelong passion for animals to every walk. I pride myself on having a natural way with pets, and my calm energy helps keep dogs relaxed and comfortable, regardless of their size. I know the rules of the road for safe walking and always prioritize your dog's well-being. I can't wait to meet your pup! Since I work remotely, my schedule offers great daytime flexibility for pet care. I am consistently available for walks and also take new clients with 2 days notice. I am available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This makes me a perfect fit for pet parents who work during the day and need a dependable, midday potty break and exercise session for their dogs. For walks and drop in visits at a client's home, my top priorities are safety, respect for your space, and your dog's happiness. I ensure leashes and harnesses are properly secured before we step outside, and I remain constantly aware of our surroundings during the walk. When returning home, I always check that water bowls are filled, paws are wiped if needed, and doors are securely locked behind me. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect and leave things exactly as I found them.

“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”
