Dog Walking Blackhawk

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’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve had rescues, energetic pups, protective breeds, and sweet seniors, so I'm comfortable with just about any temperament or need. Over the years I've dog-sat for friends and family, and I’d love to help if your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some company, while you’re busy or away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and always make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. Can’t wait to meet you and your dog! My schedule is fairly flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm available for midday walks, potty breaks, and overnight stays. Happy to accommodate last-minute requests. I will always prioritize keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and stress-free whether at my place or yours. My neighborhood is residential with plenty of walking areas and green spaces.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young, and have experience with small dogs, medium sized dogs, and cats. I also have experience with senior dogs, and pets with varying levels of energy and diverse temperaments. I am a student with availability on weekdays in the evenings and on the weekends. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with care! I care for pets by following best practices in pet care and communicating with pet owners throughout my visits. I pay special attention to directions given by the owners to ensure that pets are comfortable and happy.

“Aubrey is incredibly patient and takes the time to make sure Maru feels comfortable. He’s still a little hesitant about having his leash put on, but she’s never rushes him and lets him move at his own pace. He always comes home tired, content, and genuinely happy to see her again. I really appreciate the care and understanding she shows him.”

About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home. Responsible, mature care giver for your pet in your home, following all rules and instructions left by the pet owner. Please let me know of your pets special needs before booking.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

About: I’ve had animal care experience since I was 10, growing up with many animals in the house! I have been trusted to feed, bathe, walk, play, and keep a close eye on your furry friends. I have experience with all kinds of dogs as little as 6 months old. I can’t wait to meet you! I am fully available any day of the week, and very flexible on timing! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any specific questions, I would love to help! Depending on your pet, I make sure to keep an attentive schedule for potty times, walks, meals, medicines, and playtime. If your pet has a crate or any specific routine I am here to help!

“Heather always arrives on time. She's enthusiastic about taking our Sarah on her walk, and Sarah always returns happy and exercised. I can't recommend her enough.”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and am dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care that makes every pet feel like family. My experience covers dogs of all breeds and life stages, from high-energy puppies needing socialization to calm seniors requiring a gentler care. I pride myself on being flexible and reliable, ensuring that whether it’s a quick walk or an extended overnight stay, your pet receives the undivided attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, gated community that is perfect for peaceful, low-traffic walks. To keep you connected while you're away, I utilize an indoor dog camera, allowing for regular check-ins and updates on how your furry friend is settling in. My home is designed to be a sanctuary where pets have plenty of room to roam and explore the house freely, ensuring they never feel confined. The property is a true pet paradise, featuring a private dog park, a secure dog run, and a relaxing private patio for soaking up the sun. I am also highly experienced in senior care and managing specific medical needs. Whether it is administering oral or topical medications or maintaining a strict preventative care routine, I handle every health requirement with the precision and care of a seasoned owner. I am very comfortable with the specific grooming and health needs of breeds like miniature schnauzers and other mixes. I believe in tailoring my approach to every animal's unique temperament. If your pup is a velcro dog who craves constant cuddles, I am happy to provide all the affection they need. if they prefer their alone time and a quiet corner to nap, I respect their boundaries completely. For an added touch of luxury, I offer home bathing and brushing services so your pet can return home feeling fresh and pampered. Beyond dog care, I provide gentle companionship, quiet playtime, and specialized handling for cats. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where every pet—regardless of species or age—feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with a premium home-away-from-home experience! I am currently a part time student and I am available in the early mornings and night time for walks, play, visits, or just for company! I am flexible on how you want your furry companion to be cared for, whether it is a walk on your neighborhood or a play in a dog park. Or it could be a quiet time at home!

“Dakota and Jaclyn were outstanding! They were available on very short notice, which was a huge help while we were away. They took the time to understand Beaux’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure they understood every aspect of his care before getting started. They were responsive to updates and adjustments, communicated well throughout the visit, and gave us confidence that Beaux was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely cared about doing the job right, not just completing the visit. We truly appreciated their professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. We would absolutely book with Dakota and Jaclyn again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ dogs and have taken care of them for anywhere between a few days to 2 weeks! I’ve had experience feeding, walking, playing with, and bathing my friend’s dogs. I’m a recent college graduate, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet before I begin working! When taking care of your pet, I will make sure to prioritize their needs and have strong communication with you regarding their needs! In my house, I have a backyard that would allow your dog to run around and I would play fetch/ball with them! I also like to take dogs to the dog park if the client would like. If I’m dogsitting at the client’s house, I would learn how they would like me to use a fence, cage, bed, etc.

About: I always had dogs when I grew up - usually small silkie terrier, cavalier king charles and maltese. I tend to like bigger dogs now - huskies, bulldogs, Doberman, golden retriever, doodles, poodles, chowchow. I work from home a few days a week and am pretty energic to long morning walks, lunch and long evening walks or parks are great. We only have one person or families pet in the house at a time. Unless you have two dogs. Happy to understand your dog's usual routine first

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.

About: Love taking care of dogs with a passion. I have a family dog at my parents' house who is about 15 who I watch and stays at my house for extended periods of time. I also taught kindergarten as a volunteer for two years and babysat children in the past and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Love dogs and grew up with a dog. Caring and kind. I am also very responsible and dependable. You can count on me. Looking forward to meet your dog. Contact me to learn more about me. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you. I have a flexible schedule including work wise so can provide walks and more. Please review my profile for further details. Thank you so much. I have years of experience watching my parents dog at my own house as well as their house. This includes all around care for long periods.
