Dog Walking Blackhawk

About: I grew up with dogs of all sorts. Chelsea, our olde English sheepdog. Hannah, our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Janey the chihuahua, and now we have our own cat and our mini bernadoodle, Boomer. I am used to talking dogs on lots of exercise, following a specific diet, bathing, snuggling and so much more! I am a stay at home mom with two boys, who are very respectful towards pets. I can board at my house S/M/W/TR/F/SA. If you prefer I can also petsit in your home on the weekends. We have a large, unfenced backyard, but have two 50 ft dog leads that are very securely in the ground. We never leave the dogs outside but themselves. We live in a very quiet street at the end of a cul de sac. We go on lots of walks and in the summer set up our doggie pool and sprinkler. I am also comfortable house sitting/pet sitting in individuals home.

“Lyra was timely and gave Daisy such a great walk. She was easy to communicate with and helpful even last minute.!”

“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”

About: I’ve spent 24 years around animals, including dogs and cats of my own, so I know that trusting someone with your dog or your house key is a big deal. I don’t take it lightly. I’m the kind of sitter who wants to know your dog’s whole personality—their favorite route, the treat that instantly gets their attention, the weird way they ask for dinner, and the little routines that make them feel safe. Tell me everything. The more details, the better. Whether your pup needs a good long walk, help sticking to a routine, gentle senior care, or just company while you’re out, I’ll meet them where they are. I pay attention to body language, keep safety front and center, and send photos and updates so you’re never left guessing how they’re doing. At the end of the day, I want the same thing you do: a happy, relaxed dog and a sitter you feel good about booking again Busy workday or a trip coming up? Send me the dates and times you need help. We’ll go over your pet’s routine and confirm what fits before booking, so you have one less thing to sort out. I’m organized and flexible, and I can build visits around your pet’s schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine—whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening feedings, or weekend coverage. Before a booking, I like to confirm the exact routine so there are no surprises. I’ll be clear about my availability, arrive on time, and communicate promptly if anything changes. Leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable telling me every little detail, including the instructions you worry are “too much.” I’m happy to have them. I’ll stick to their routine, double-check doors and gates, keep your space tidy, and send photos and updates. If your pet needs a little time to warm up, we’ll take it at their pace. You’re always welcome to check in. In your home, I’ll follow your house rules, keep fresh water available, and closely follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions. I’m mindful of anything that could stress your pet—loud noises, unfamiliar people, other animals, or changes to their normal routine. For dogs, I use a secure leash and pay attention to their body language around other dogs, people, traffic, and unfamiliar situations. For cats, I let them set the pace: I won’t force interaction, and I’ll make sure their litter box, food, water, and favorite hiding spots are taken care of. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated, and reach out right away if I notice anything unusual.

“Maya is awesome! She came on schedule to take my two big doodles for a walk, and they both did great.”

About: We love meeting new dogs and making them feel at home, taking them for walks and playing, or just hanging out on the couch together. We are happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. My spouse and I work remotely and and are able to devote time to give your pet potty breaks, walks, and tons of attention to fully spoil them. We are available for doggy daycare and overnights on weekends or an occasional long weekend stay. We have a fully enclosed backyard with plenty of shade and sun for play and potty breaks. We have a dog of our own who can keep yours company or who can easily be kept separate in my large home. We can provide as many photos and updates as you would like, and we are happy to ensure all pet rules and routines are followed. Walks are always at the appropriate speed and length for the breed and age of your dog.

I offer patient, attentive care tailored to your dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of affection, playtime, and time to relax. My 12 year old also loves dogs and will happily offer extra love, playtime and attention under my care. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I plan pet care around each booking so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve.

I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep walks secure and supervised, respect your wishes, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: THE go-to pet sitter within my community because of the care, attention, and genuine love I bring to every animal I look after. Friends, family, and clients consistently trust me with their pets because they know I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and attentiveness that I would my own. In addition to years of pet sitting, I have experience working with wild birds, horses, and wildlife through educational and conservation programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for animal behavior and the many different ways animals communicate, build trust, and relate to the people around them in a respectful way. My professional background as a caregiver has also strengthened skills that translate naturally to pet care, including responsibility, observation, consistency, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, supported, and cared for while you're away. Currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting, dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with plenty of time for walks, play, companionship, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their humans are away. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, birds, and horses, and I have experience with anxious pets and shy cats. My approach is centered around patience, respect, and meeting each animal where they are. I’m a calm presence who understands that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I allow pets the space they need while offering support, companionship, playtime, and enrichment when they’re ready. My goal is to help pets feel secure, cared for, and comfortable in their own home.

I love the fur babies around me and have got plenty of time to play with them. I have a fur baby of my own to give your baby company. I can crate your baby if you want me to. I also can take care of small babies and train then to do a few actions.

I know every dog is unique, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I am currently doing a variety of summer camps around the east bay. Fitting in walks before and after would definitely be my goal, as well as weekends. I have a fenced yard and 2 furry fluffy guys of my own, Georgie a labradoodle and Teddy an golden doodle to keep your furry friend company.
