Dog Walking Del Dios

About: I’ve always had a dog and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs of all different ages, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I love making dogs feel loved when their owners are away on trips. I go to school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the day, but I am available during the evenings. Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays I am available anytime to care for your pet! I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I'm house sitting, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking dogs on walks, I always follow each owner's instructions and keep their pet's normal routine. I make safety a top priority by ensuring doors and gates are secure, and using provided leashes and harnesses during walks. I provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure they’re not only cared for but feel loved. I also treat every client's home with care and respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

“Erin is very sweet and I can tell how much she loves all animals. She was very prompt and sent me lots of pictures of my dog's walk! I look forward to having her walk Murphy again!”

About: What sets me apart? It starts with over 25 years of experience and a heart that’s been full of tail wags, happy barks, and puppy kisses for as long as I can remember. I’ve shared my life with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—and I know that every pup is unique, with their own quirks, routines, and needs. That’s exactly how I treat them. From energetic puppies who need structure and play, to seniors who just want a comfy place to rest and someone to move at their pace, I’ve cared for them all. I have hands-on experience with whelping, administering medications (pills, drops, and injections), and tailoring meals to special diets—whether it’s raw, home-cooked, or kibble with a side of cheese bribes. But beyond the to-dos, I deeply understand dog behavior and body language. I can spot when a dog’s anxious, when they need space, or when they’re saying “more belly rubs, please.” I’ll never rush a nervous pup or overlook the needs of a high-energy one—I meet every dog with patience, respect, and love. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, a game of fetch, or simply sitting together while they snooze, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that feels like home. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and genuinely loved while you're away. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 4:30 PM, so at this time I can provide drop-in visits after 4pm. However, I am available every other Monday at anytime (next Monday off is May 19th). But the weekends are all mine! I’m available all day to spend quality time with your pet. Whether it’s a fun trip to the dog beach, a scenic hike, or simply a quiet visit to keep your family member company, I’ll tailor the time to what they enjoy most. Your pet will always get the care, attention, and love they need—every day of the week. When I care for pets, it’s always in the comfort of your home—where they feel most secure and relaxed. I believe in keeping their routine as normal as possible and following your instructions to the letter, because no one knows your pet better than you do. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. From double-checking doors and gates to making sure leashes are secure and environments are calm, I’m attentive to every detail. I take the time to understand your pet’s likes, dislikes, and boundaries so they feel safe and respected. I’m also here to support you as the pet parent. I stay responsive, communicative, and always open to feedback—because trust goes both ways, and your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s comfort.

“Heather is the best! We adopted another dog and Heather is now taking care of both of our dogs. She made time for another meet and greet to learn about their routines. Deep appreciation for Heather!”

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.

“John was great with walking our dogs, our Aussie loves the long walks. Always very tired right after. John is very accommodating and very responsive. Even brought our packages inside the house for us. Will definitely book again in the future.”

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and my own. I have two cats and have cared for my boyfriend's two cats for about a year, as well as a friend's cat for another year. I am also comfortable caring for dogs and enjoy spending time with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at the clients home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply having someone keep them company, I will make sure they receive the care and attention they need while you are away. I know every pet has a different routine, and I am very detail oriented, so I will always take the time to follow your instructions and help them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend quality time with your pets. My goal is to treat every pet like they are my own and provide reliable, loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can work around your pet's normal routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I've always loved animals and know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I have two cats, a bearded dragon, and a frog, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, keep your home clean and respected, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know they're happy and doing well.

About: I’ve pet sat for a multitude of households ranging from one to three animals at once, I take them on daily walks. Make sure they’re fed at least two times a day with correct portion sizes and make it a priority to keep them entertained and active! I’m currently on summer break and currently unemployed so I have more than enough time to care for furry friends! I have a wide range of availability as I only go back to school in September! My backyard is fully fenced in with the gates on either side so no escaping here! I have one 13-year-old white lab who is a gentle giant and will be more than happy to meet new friends!

About: Hi! I’m Scarlett! My whole life I have grown up around animals (mostly dogs) and I am very familiar with their needs! My family mostly adopts large and older dogs but I’ve also seen my fair share of puppies as well! So my skills are pretty diverse and can accommodate your dogs needs! Thank you and I hope to be meeting your four legged friend soon! As of right now, I am working three days a week virtually for my college’s writing center. So on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights I will be unavailable. But any other day of the week and weekend I am usually free and happy to provide care for your animal(s)! I am only open to providing care in the client's home because I currently live with my parents. In their home, I will make sure to respect their privacy to the highest degree and only use what is necessary for their lovely pets!

About: Animal lover at birth! Rescued and cared for several dogs to enjoy happy lifestyle and adventures.

Parks are less than 10 minutes away, but open to bring my laptop over if your pet prefers own home setting. I can walk multiple times a day and provide basic trianing. I'm here to take away the worry so owners can work or enjoy their own adventures. I work from home and free to move around or come to your pet.
