“Cheryl is so kind and wonderful with dogs. We found it thoughtful of her to meet Willow on her work break before walking her for the first time later that day. I highly recommend Cheryl, you know your dog will be lovingly cared for.”

“Maia’s soooooo great and helpful! She showed up on time and is great with our puppy! He could be shy but warmed up to Maia very quickly - he couldn’t wait to see her again. Maia also took pictures and was responsive and detailed about the puppy - already planning to book again in the future. Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm Eric, and I've been a dog lover all my life, I have experience helping my pets give birth to their offspring and feeding them with formulated milk at their earliest stage, and taking care of them to their senior years. I own two Shih Tzus named Piccolo and Didith. I often go to Van Saun Dog Park to give my own pets and other pet guests some exercise and feel the nature. My utmost priority is the SAFETY and COMFORT of my pet guests. Dog Boarding is overnight or 24hr. Stay. Doggy Day Care drop-offs are around 7-9 am, and pick-ups are around 4-6 pm. I am working online in the comfort of my home so they will not be alone and I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. Whenever I feed my pet guests, I separate them with baby fences, and during their playtime, I watch them closely to avoid any untoward incident.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since 1989 and have worked at high end cage free daycare facilities in California! I am well versed in doggy body language, helping with problematic behaviors, and caring for special needs and senior dogs. I have three day weekends so when you need some time away, I can make sure your babies are walked, fed, and showered with love. As a former professional housekeeper I can assure you that your home will be treated with the utmost care and respect while I care for your furry loved ones.

“Jenn is so great. She is very responsive and dependable. She is a dog lover and a very nice person! Penny is always excited to go for a walk with her. Thanks for being there when I need you, Jenn!”

About: I've taken care of two family dogs who became family members, one of which I rescued from a neglectful owner. I was a hands-on dad to my son, and as a single parent knew well how to feed and change him and care for him when he was sick. As a senior, I've the experience and "seasoning" to know what's important, whether it's an infant or child or a family dog, and how to see to it that the one in my care is well cared for, happy, and loved. Since the condo development where my wife and I live doesn't allow dogs, I take special pleasure in spending time with them at every opportunity. I come from a long line of dog lovers on my dad's side, and proudly carry on that tradition. I'm a retiree who does part-time volunteer work, both hands-on with elementary-school-aged children and legislative and policy advocacy on behalf of folks with intellectual and developmental disabilities. My other major activities are staying in shape and learning a foreign language. These part-time gigs, and the fact that my wife works part-time, leave me enough time to do some pet care. I cannot care for pets in my home, or for that matter have a dog, because the condo development where I live does not permit dogs. I care for dogs in their owner's homes, following their owners' lead, so to speak, and according to their owners' directives. Fortunately, this means that the dogs I care for, who know their way around their own turf, do not need to adjust to new environs. As a guest myself, I am naturally inclined to treat the home where I find myself with extra care and respect, more so than I would my own home.

“We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Jordan was wonderful - quick to respond and followed all instructions. And I was so grateful she was able to give our puppy some outdoor time and exercise while we were out of the house for a long stretch on Thanksgiving!”

“Scarlet was extremely communicative, sweet and timely. She kept me updated and informed and even made time for a meet and greet a few days before since my pup can get a little nervous around new people. Will definitely be using her services again!!”

About: I treat my dog as if he were my own biological son and I will gladly make sure your furry friends are as comfortable as possible when they’re with me. I have experience with medium to small dogs, old dogs, puppies, and cats with asthma. My love for animals goes so far back that I wrote in my Elementary school year book that my dream job was to be a Dog Walker when I grew up! I am currently in between jobs and have the ability to be more present and available for any animal needs throughout the day/week. If I were to find full time employment it would be remote work, so either way, I am always available to your furry friends ☺️ I want to keep your little ones on their usual schedule, doing things exactly how you typically do things. I will stick to any snack or food guidelines you have and will happily help with any medications or special needs required. I am very patient and understand that all dogs have different personalities just like us. My hope is that we will have some fun and get some daily exercise at the same time.

“Prompt on time, many pictures sent and a good walk for the dog. Great communication.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I started Caring for and training my own dogs and then overtime transitioned to caring for, grooming, and training my own dogs, family dogs, friends dogs, and even other family’s dogs through word of mouth. I have a lot of experience with puppies, especially with training techniques. I also Have a lot of experience with behavior issues, health issues, older dogs etc. Currently I work per diem and have a lot of free time to care for pets, which is my true passion. On a daily basis, I am always playing with my dogs, walking my dogs, training my dogs etc. In my home, I often carefully watch how client’s pets interact with my dogs before allowing them to play together. After I know the client’s pets and my pets will get along well I then allow them to play both inside and outside while being carefully supervised. Feedings and sleeping will always be kept separate. I always follow client concerns, rules, protocols, advice when caring for a pet in my home. While in a client’s home I ask the client for specifics on the pet’s routine in the house and I try to keep to that pet’s normal life as possible. In both cases I try to interact with the pet by playing with them, petting them, doing some training with client approved treats, etc. I currently Work per-diem so I have plenty of time to care for my pets and other pets as well. My daily schedule consists of taking the dogs for a walk first thing in the morning, taking them in our backyard to play and then feeding breakfast. Throughout the day we go for several walks and take several trips outside to play or work on some training. Then, around 5:30pm we get ready for our dinner and then relax or play until bedtime, with yet another walk and play session before bed. At my home, I have a small backyard where the pets can go outside supervised to use the bathroom and play. I also take the pets for several small walks a day, or 1-2 long walks a day depending on their need. I also Have two separate spare bedrooms for pets to get their space if they need it.

“An amazing dog walker who is punctual, sweet, loves dogs, and is very accommodating and respectful to the dog and family. She is highly recommended!! I give her 10⭐️’s.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m especially skilled with puppies and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement when it comes to basic training, potty routines, and socialization. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior pets, including those who need extra gentleness, medication administration, slower walks, or special attention to mobility and comfort. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and adapt my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m calm, reliable, and highly attentive to routines, diet, and safety. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel completely at ease. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally structure my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, training, and check-ins to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, care, and companion. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routines closely to reduce stress. I provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication if needed, and plenty of affection while keeping the environment safe, clean, and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Dani, a passionate animal lover that would love to help you out!

I’m a recent college graduate, and I’m currently job hunting. I figured this would be a great way to keep myself busy while doing something I love! I am happy to offer dog walking and pet sitting services! I have a dog and cat of my own at home so I am willing to watch your pets in the comfort of their own home.

“Anya is our go-to dog walker and Toby loves her! She’s reliable, flexible and trustworthy. Toby always gets a good walk and comes back tired. Highly recommend!”

“Andrea dog walked Cody on one day earlier this week (3 times during the day) and I couldn't be happier. Her communication was outstanding, plenty of photos and even documents how many times he pee-ed and pooped on each walk. She was accommodating when I had to adjust my schedule and was very reliable. She even washed out his dog food container when it was empty, which was beyond the call of duty. Andrea has a lovely manner, is very pleasant and eager to please. Would definitely work with her again.”
