About: I provide structured, attentive care for dogs of all sizes, with the most experience in medium and large breeds. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs (including shepherds, retrievers, mastiffs, boxers, and similar breeds) and maintaining consistency with training, routines, and leash manners. My approach is calm, observant, and intentional. Whether your dog needs an active walk, reinforcement of basic commands, or simply steady companionship while you’re away, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I’ve cared for dogs in a variety of settings, including daily walks, extended stays, and house sitting, while keeping their routines intact. I’m also experienced with multi-dog households and understand how to manage different temperaments together. While most of my experience is with larger breeds, I also enjoy caring for small dogs and adjust my approach to match each dog’s size, energy level, and personality. I’m available for early morning (before 8am), midday/lunch-hour visits, and evening care on weekdays, as well as weekends. I plan ahead to stay consistent with each dog’s routine and will confirm timing clearly before booking. Repeat weekly walks are welcome. I follow each dog’s routine closely and adjust based on their size, energy level, and behavior. I’m comfortable handling larger, strong dogs and prioritize leash control, awareness on walks, and consistent boundaries. I keep environments clean and secure and follow any care instructions provided, whether your dog is used to being crated or prefers to be free in the home. My indoor space is set up to accommodate one large dog at a time (or two smaller dogs), with nearby access to parks, trails, and both paved and unpaved walking routes for regular exercise and varied environments depending on your dog’s needs.

“We were visiting the area and wanted to take a day trip to hike at Pinnacles National Park. Nancy and her husband were wonderful and took great care of our mini schnauzer while we spent the day hiking.”

“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”

“Jacob and Leilani had a fun day. He’s a sweet, intelligent guy that has great tips and calm energy. I feel that’s exactly what she needed was that perfect match! I was so glad to find Jacob and that he was available within a day. That is a rarity! He had Leilani run as much as she wanted. She’s super happy! Thanks Rover and Jacob! Leilani’s Dad”

About: I said good bye to my dog of 15 years, I had the honor of knowing her from puppyhood (watched her be born!) to senior. I am not ready for another but I miss having a dog in my life! I have experience with all different breeds. I have a great house and fenced yard and weekdays free. I live by walking trails and a big grassy field and if your furry friend can be off leash easily, I love a good game of fetch. I also am available for walks in your neighborhood. I have a very flexible schedule during the week. I work most weekends but it changes depending on the season. Reach out and we can figure out if our schedules align! Your dog is my bestie! I have a fenced in yard and close proximity to a large park with walking trails. I love to give scratches, cuddles on the couch and long walks and to play.

“Blue enjoyed her latest visit with Marina, as always. We know Blue is very well taken care of when she’s with Marina. Lots of walks and love are Blue’s favorite things, and Marina delivers.”
