Dog Walking in Castro Valley

“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”

About: I'm a mom of 4 and have already been using wag. This is my handle to see reviews I’ve gotten on there https://wag.me/p/JOSELINE65929 Joseline65929 We love every pet that comes into our home, big and small. We have a large backyard and can handle two good walks a day plus extra play time, potty breaks etc. Our backyard faces a hiking trail and we have lots of squirrels and birds that visit plus the occasional deer, turkeys and peacocks. The children are great with animals, very gentle and caring and great helpers without overwhelming our guests. We do our best to have every guest feel happy and comfortable here. But we don’t allow dogs in bedrooms because of asthma. However that’s never been a problem for our visitors who get lots of space in the living areas. We really work hard to make sure every visitor feels comfortable and happy in our home and that includes our fur visitors. We are kind and caring and correct behavior or apply rules with gentle correction. We’re all home most of the time since we homeschool so we have lots of time to keep your pet company and not too busy of a schedule. We get up and head out for a morning walk, then offer breakfast. The morning is busy and playful and the afternoon is quiet and a time to relax before the afternoon walk then dinner. We use exercise as a way to tire everyone out as it helps with behavior and sleep. Plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We have a large backyard that’s great for playtime. We stay indoors with all our dogs and go outside for playtime together. We don’t like to leave them alone outside all day. We have a deck that’s perfect for sitting in the sunshine and in good weather we like to leave the doors open so that the deck is accessible for extra comfort.

“Very friendly and great with Max!”

“100% will use Dani again, she’s very prompt, communicates well with us, and takes care our dog very well. She even protected our dog when there are two loose dogs approaching our dog about to attack.”

“Eric was great, my dog usually poops on his walks and he didn’t poop on one of them so he spent an extra ten minutes walking him to get him to poop. Communicative and responds quickly too.”

“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.”

“Very responsible, consistent, and friendly.”

“My husband was gone on a business trip and I needed some help walking Kiki in the afternoons. I wanted someone experienced with pitties just in case some of her behaviors came out during the walk and Alex did great! She was always super excited to see him and we can’t wait to book him again :)”

“Celina is great! She is always professional and she is always on time”

“Abigail will treat any pet with love and care, and like her own. I fully trust that Abigail will provide safe a space for any pet. I would not hesitate to have Abigail take care of my pets on any occasion.”

“My dogs Ginger and Mahi are like my kids - knowing they are being well taken care of by someone puts my mind at ease! Safal is our go to dog sitter during any vacation plans. My dogs adore her and also enjoy quality time with their friend Kashi. When we used Rover for the first time, we were looking for an extended stay for Ginger and Mahi. Met with Safal beforehand and very impressed with her, felt comfortable. Our 16 day trip turned into a 30 days due to lost passport and visa, and Safal was able to accommodate us. We could not be more grateful for this service and the quality personnel. We would not hesitate to book Rover, and Safal if she’s available.”

“Whitney is extremely patient & professional. My dog is not an easy going pup he’s a bit of a grumpy old fuss pot. She communicates & asks for advice, I cannot stress enough how patient Whitney is. I felt she really tired to understand him & work with us. She is a great walker who goes above & beyond!!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and Cats of all different sizes and breeds. Any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and two cats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Thank You, From your animal caregiver. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. And cats with catarects. I have a safe and large fenced in backyard. All dogs are separated at feeding times of 7am and 6pm, unless you feed more and have a slightly different schedule. I am used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications including injectables.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I am great at recognizing animal behavior and could help with wound care or pain management. My schedule is currently fully open and flexible. I work from home and have plenty of time on hands to care for a pet. 💟 I live in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I have a lot of indoor and outdoor space that your pets could roam freely. My backyard is also maintained clean, and fenced.

“Wendy is absolutely amazing. Ricky has improved drastically and she was just so great at helping me with my anxiety over walking him. I am so thankful for her strength, patience, empathy and love for my Ricky. Thank you so much Wendy, please be sure to contact her, she is amazing. Not only is he doing better but I feel much more confident with him.”

“Christine was amazing with my boy Obie. She has great experience with all kinds of dogs. Obie is a high energy excitable 2 year old lab. Christine was patient and kind with my goofy boy. I will be using Christine again!”

“Vivian was on time and great with our dog! Will definitely ask her to walk Toga again”

“Communicating with Priscilla was easy to set up dog-walking while we were away. She was punctual and reliable and my dad (who was watching our dog while we were away) says our dog was happy after each walk. Thank you, Priscilla!”

About: I have volunteered with the SPCA and have learned skills for both dogs and cats. I have spent time learning how to gain the trust of animals who might be a little nervous so I am confident in my abilities. I am currently working part-time but I will only take opportunities where I know your pets will have my full attention. I have pet of my own so I know how important one-on-one time is! I have a dog and a cat at home that have free range of my apartment so I am well aware of animals needing their personal space but I also have worked with dogs in crates.

About: Owning a dog and cat myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone to trust with the fur babies. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I work part time and would love to fill my off days with some puppy playtime. I prefer weekdays and afternoons after my morning walks with my cane corso. You provide the pet and poop bags. I’ll provide the fun. I understand some animals are on strict diets and may have allergies. Coming from someone that has experienced this first hand. You can trust that they will be safe with me.
