Dog Walking Creed

About: I have experience caring for high-energy and working breeds, including dogs that need structure, exercise, and calm guidance while away from home. I focus on creating a safe, balanced environment with enrichment, routine, and personalized care for each dog. I’m comfortable with crate routines, leash handling, impulse control work, and helping dogs settle calmly into a new environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a structured and active lifestyle, which allows me to provide consistent walks, exercise, and attentive supervision throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I prioritize keeping dogs on a steady routine that mirrors what they’re used to at home. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or a balanced mix of both, I build their care into my schedule — not around it. Because I work from a stable home environment near Travis AFB, I’m able to provide reliable availability, consistent potty breaks, structured activity, and regular updates. Your dog’s safety, routine, and well-being are never an afterthought — they’re part of the plan. Dogs in my home are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to help them feel safe and settled. I keep routines consistent with regular potty breaks, structured walks, mental stimulation, and purposeful play. Dogs are never left without supervision for extended periods, and I monitor energy levels to ensure they’re comfortable — whether they need exercise or quiet rest.

“Loved Gabriel’s WILLINGNESS to learn from the dogs! I intend to snatch Gabriel up because of this and his kindness with my fur babies! I will DEFINITELY be booking him for a weekly schedule 😊!”

About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!

About: I’m the person you’ll find in the corner at a party hanging out with the dog (or cat). I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, have experience pet sitting and walking, and adopted both of my pets. I also trained my dog, Pinto, myself, so I have hands-on experience with training, routines, and plenty of different dog behaviors. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll always treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I also haven’t met a pet I couldn’t win over yet! I recently moved to the area from Washington, so my schedule is currently very flexible! I’m especially available during the week for anyone who needs someone to check in on their buddy while they’re at work. Whether it’s a midday walk, potty break, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to make their day a little less lonely while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe and comfortable and your home is left just as I found it. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how your buddy is doing!

About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 7 years. In the past two years, I started house/dog sitting for close friends and family. I currently am working only as a pet sitter.

About: My family loves animals so I have been a pet owner practically my whole life! I've cared for birds, cats, fish, and even a house full of puppies so I am no stranger to pet multitasking. With me, your pets will feel right at home. I'm very laid back, patient, and nurturing, and I give each four legged friend the attention they may need. Let me know what matters to you and your little buddies and I can promise that your needs will be taken care of! My home is a stress free environment where all animals are welcome and treated with respect. I am very serious about the care I provide and will assure you that your pet's will be happy and safe with me. I have a work schedule that is very flexible. I can accommodate to my clients with at least 24 to 48 hour notice. I’m available most days of the week and can move my personal appointments around if needed. I have a fenced yard over 6000 ft.² for dogs to run around. Unfortunately, I have some special puppies of my own and I’m not able to offer my home at the moment.

About: Experienced Vet Tech • Animal Caregiver I’ve been working with animals since 2017, beginning as a manager at a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility in Livermore, where I also cared for Alameda County Sheriff’s animals. Every temperament I met taught me something new and ultimately led me into veterinary medicine in 2019. Since then, I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals throughout Danville/Blackhawk, Fremont, and Pleasanton. After years in vet med, I’ve realized what I love most is simply caring for the animals themselves. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet—their quirks, routines, personalities, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have a knack for connecting with animals and making sure their individual needs are understood and met. Most of the animals I meet end up becoming little friends of mine. The occasional possum or feral cat may not be quite as convinced, but I promise I’ll still give them my very best. ❤️ Your pet will be cared for with the experience, patience, and genuine love I would want for my own. I am taking a step back from my career and pursuit of Veterinary Medicine. I would like to get to the basics of what I know and love so very much. Caring for and spending time with each animal. Making sure they get the care they deserve, and so much more. I like continue with each animals normal routine. If they like to lay out in the sun for a few hours, that’s what we will do. If they want to play fetch until nap time, consider it done. If we want to go for a run through the neighborhood or a walk on a nearby trail, I’m ready to go.

“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Mariah is wonderful with my 2-year-old German shepherd, Falko. He listens to her on his walks, and she gives me great recaps on his behavior and how the walk went. Falko gets really excited when Mariah comes to walk him. We will definitely continue to ask Mariah to come and walk Falko - it is a great help, and we have peace of mind that he is in good hands.”

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.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles,medication or keeping anxious pets comfortable while you’re away, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for at all times.
