About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to feed, provide fresh water, go on walks, play, give lots of attention, and follow any special care instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can feel happy and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide reliable dog walking services throughout the week. I’m available on most weekdays and weekends and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break and exercise, I’m committed to providing dependable and loving care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks, pay close attention to their surroundings, and follow any instructions you provide regarding routines, commands, or special needs. I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and care while ensuring they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, and lots of positive attention. You can trust that your furry friend will be in responsible and caring hands every step of the way.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a child and consider my dog, Olive to be my first child. I will give your dog the same care, attention, and affection that they receive from you, their owner. I have a flexible schedule during the week and my home is available for boarding on weekends. I’m willing to board during the week on a case by case basis. I have three boys, ages 9 and 5. I have a large, fenced in yard with lots of room to play. Your dog will receive a lot of attention from me and my children.

About: I am 20 years old and I am a positive outgoing guy trying to earn some extra money on the side before I transfer to a university. I grew up with a family dog and every morning, I would take him to the dog park and let him socialize and play. We would play fetch all the time and my dad and I used to take him to the tennis courts. And he would essentially run around the court like a maniac trying to catch the ball while we were rallying. The most important thing you should know though is that I know how to let your dog have a great time, while at the same time, teach him obedience. I am also available mainly in the mornings.
“My Cassie LOVES spending time with Paulo during her weekly walks! He’s always sending me pictures of their adventures and gives me updates about the walk they had. If I could give 100 stars I would ⭐️ Paulo really cares for the dogs he spends time with and he does an AMAZING job with them! Definitely recommend.”

About: I spent my wonderful last 9 years with my border collie x blue heeler mix dog. He joined our family when he was three months so I trained him. He was very energetic and happy dog and needed a lot of exercise every day. He was about 60 pounds so I am used to medium - large size dogs. In his late life, he had multiple internal organ issues so I have experienced giving medicines (oral medications, insulin injection) as well. I used to take him to the grassy area in the park to sit and relax for an hour too. Watching dogs having good lives gives me a big smile. I played a lot with my parents' dog (miniature dachshund) too. We recently welcomed Australian Cattle Dog puppy to our family and he keeps us busy everyday! I also hold an American Red Cross Cats and Dogs First Aid Certification. I can take your dogs to walk to enjoy! I love seeing dogs walking so proud on their walks. I believe walking is one of the best activities they look forward everyday in addition to seeing their owners. I will be happy if you let me make their day happy! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of your dog - trash eater, aggressive towards other dogs, squirrels / cats chasers etc. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. I am usually available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday between 9:00am and 1:00pm and Wednesday between 9:00am and 12:00pm to walk your dogs but my flexibility depends on days / time so please ask me about it! I mainly serve Walnut Creek, Concord and Clayton areas. I am usually available on weekends. Please do not hesitant to ask any questions! This is not applicable to my service at this moment as I only offer dog walking and drop off visits. I will update this section once I offer other services. Thank you!

About: All my life I have grown up around animals and have had a special connection to them. You can find me at every social event usually bonding with the four-legged party-goers instead of my own species. I have experience in house/pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, cleaning and more. I am comfortable with every type of animal and pride myself in tuning into their behaviors to be able to recognize any changes within them. I love all animals as if they were my own and feel privileged to be trusted with your fur babies! I work a full-time remote job for The Oakland Ballers, The East Bay's newest pro baseball team! During the off-season I am looking to make a little extra cash and get some exercise by taking care of your special pet friends! My hours are flexible and I am available Mon-Fri from 10 AM -8 PM at night and am flexible for house sitting as I can bring my work materials with me anywhere. I would love to have your pet add a little more fun to my everyday! To ensure the safety of any animal I tend to be a strong observer and make sure to watch closely to whatever an active pet may be doing- whether it's playing, exploring, sniffing or other activities, I try to observe and make sure they do not ingest or partake in any activity that may be unsafe for them. Along with that, I prefer to have written out instructions of the proper care you would like taken for your pet and if there is any special information I should know, along with a phone number for the vet and other emergency contacts, medicines, etc.
