About: **Trusted, Experienced Pet Care – Walks, Check-Ins, and Loving Attention for Your Pets** Hello! My name is Erin, and I am a passionate and experienced animal lover offering reliable pet care services for your furry family members. With more than 20 years of experience owning, walking, and caring for dogs and cats, I understand how important it is for pets to receive consistent exercise, attention, and compassionate care. I offer a variety of services designed to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away, including 30-minute or 60-minute dog walks, pet check-ins, potty breaks, feeding and watering, pet sitting, and playtime. Whether your dog needs a quick walk to stretch their legs or a longer outing for exercise and stimulation, I am happy to tailor my visits to meet your pet’s specific needs. Over the years I have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly believe that daily exercise and mental stimulation are just as important for animals as they are for people. As someone who walks or hikes every day, I would love to have your dog join me for safe, fun, and engaging outings. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to accommodate your routine. I am known for being calm yet assertive, patient, kind, trustworthy, responsible, and highly attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. To ensure everyone feels comfortable, I am always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking. If you’re looking for a dependable and caring person who will treat your pet like family, I would love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work part time, giving me flexible availability for dog walks, drop-ins, and playtime, with dependable scheduling and plenty of time to focus on your dog. I care for my own dog and cat with structure, patience, enrichment, and affection-prioritizing daily walks, training, play, and routines that keep them happy, healthy, and secure. I consider them members of my family, and promise to treat your pets as good as I do mine. I am the go-to person in my family and friends group when it comes to dog walks, baths, and training.
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
“Marlette was available for a very last second walk with my dog. She kept safety and exploration at the top of list in choosing a walk. Not only does she reply quickly, she shows up on time, has a beautiful kindness she emanates, and my dog loves her! Highly recommend!”
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
“Adam did a great job taking care of my two dogs. He was always on time, always in communication with me, and always sent pictures. Adam has a nice, calm demeanor and my dogs love him. I will definitely use Adam in the future. It was a great experience, thank you Adam!!”
About: I’ve been in the veterinary field for 3+ years and have worked in general practice with cats and dogs. I have experience with working with nervous pets and pets with special needs ! Please reach out if any questions! I currently have Wednesday and weekend available while I work my full time job. Weekend walks and drop ins are already something my dog and I enjoy. I have worked in a fear free practice that allows pets to be them selves without stressing them out! I make sure that pets are comfortable and take the breaks they need or play when they’ve indicated they are ready for play time.
“Emma is very punctual, flexible with her schedule, and easy to communicate with. My dog is high energy and anxiety, she’s not trusting of new ppl and is very vocal. Two walks later, she’s Emma’s best friend. I appreciate Emma’s calm energy. She lets dogs go to her and doesn’t force any affection onto them while being attentive and sweet. She walks my dog twice a week and she will be boarding with her soon. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.
About: I am a dog lover like I’m sure most of us on Rover are. I have two dogs myself. Riley my three year-old Pomeranian mix, and Raven my 18 month old toy poodle. I’ve also helped to take care of my mom’s five-year-old Maltese mix Max who has megaesophagus. Normally during the school year I send my dogs to my friend’s house while I’m at work, she and her husband have three dogs of her own. Often she will watch other friend’s dogs as well while they travel. After school I’ll hang out and help her with/play with all the pups. My daytime job is a teacher. I’ve been teaching (mostly 3rd grade) in Vallejo for over 20 years now. I would like to spend my summers traveling but this summer don’t have any big plans. I’d love to spend my time taking care of, playing with, walking, and enjoying being with dogs who make me so happy! Currently I am starting out with just offering drop in visits and dog walking. If that changes in the future I have a dog friendly home, fenced in yard, lots of toys, pee pads inside if needed as well as grass outside.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was about 8 years old. I’m about to be 29 so that’s over 20 years of experience! I’ve had very calm dogs to my now 2 high energy, herding, reactive dogs! I can work with all types of temperaments! I currently work from 8-1 but my hours are very flexible due to being able to remote work! I am available to in home pet sit on the weekends starting Friday until Sunday! I will be sure to keep your pet on their routine in the comfort of their own home. Take normal walking routes and be sure to clean up after them. I am a safe a reliable source. I have pet sat for multiple people and have had no problems.

About: I have been a professional dog walker working for other people's businesses as well as my own for over 8 years. I am new to the area and just beginning my pet care journey here. I have plenty of other animal care experience like bottle feeding kittens and goats, raising quail and chickens, grooming rabbits, and training cows and horses. I especially love puppies and specialize in dog to dog socialization. I prioritize emotional regulation and satisfying dog's intrinsic needs so they can be happy, healthy family members. I am a full time animal caretaker and trainer. This is what I have spent my whole life mastering and I continue to learn from the animals how to best care for them. I have a fenced yard and many comfy spaces for your pet to rest. There are also private spaces available for more anxious animals who need their personal space. My dog is also well socialized for those who need a doggy companion to feel safe.
About: I’ve kind of built my routine around pet care at this point. I’m very intentional about keeping things consistent: feedings, walks, meds, all of it because I know how much that matters to them. And I make time for the in-between moments too like just hanging out so they feel comfortable and not like I’m just passing through. I’ve kind of built my routine around pet care at this point. I’m very intentional about keeping things consistent: feedings, walks, meds, all of it because I know how much that matters to them. And I make time for the in between moments too like just hanging out so they feel comfortable and not like I’m just passing through. I focus a lot on creating a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and can relax. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent and low stress. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet safe, and set up so each pet has room to settle in comfortably. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, safe interactions, and keeping a close eye on behavior to prevent any issues before they happen. Building trust is a big part of my approach, both with pets and their owners, so I prioritize clear communication and dependable care throughout the stay.
“Rebecca is wonderful with my high-energy Lab, he always comes back from his walks tired and happy. We appreciate her flexibility, reliability, and good communication. Definitely recommend :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carquinez Heights
Emma is such a sweet lady, always on time, very responsible and gave us plenty of updates both photos, videos and texts! Very responsive and easy to talk to. And my dog loved her, she was clearly very excited every morning when it came to the scheduled time we arranged for Emma to pick her Ik and take her in her walk. Dogs don’t lie and my dog was ecstatic to see Emma. We could not have done our trip without her, we’re very grateful and I think we’re going to have to schedule with her more regularly so my dog doesn’t get depressed. If you need someone you can count on to take care of your dog (big or small, my dog is a 65 lbs very active husky), be responsive and always on time - Emma is your person. Book with her before she’s all booked up. It’s not easy finding people you can trust with your pets so I’m truly grateful we found Emma. Thank you!!!!
"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future
Once again, Fioa provided excellent care for my dog..I really appreciate her kind ways and willingness to work with my anxious pup. Fiona is responsible and communicates well.I feel very comfortable with her her respect with my home. I will use her services again.
Rachel is awesome - my dog immediately liked her! She was attentive and had great questions as I gave her a rundown of his likes/dislikes. I’m newer to the area and feel so much better that we now have a great contact like Rachel for walks and overnights if we go out of town.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carquinez Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carquinez Heights. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
