Dog Walking East Foothills

About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. 🐾 Important Note: To ensure a safe, comfortable, and manageable environment for our resident dogs and guests, I strictly only accept dogs under 40 lbs. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue French bulldog and poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. Panda: My energetic 5-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity Consistent Supervision: My husband and I both work hybrid schedules and take turns working from home. This means one of us is home the vast majority of the time to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attentive care. Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.

“Extremely flexible & accommodating.”

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I go the extra mile with walks, playtime, and snuggles, while keeping owners updated with regular pictures and messages. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I work part time, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m available most mornings, making it easy to schedule walks, drop-ins, or cuddles when your pets need them most. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet’s routine, especially during weekdays and weekends. If pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and part of the family—lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I always keep things clean, stick to feeding schedules, and send updates so you don’t have to worry while you’re away.

“Son was a great walker for my parents dog while she (the dog) was staying with me for a few weeks! He made sure to follow her pace and provided fantastic reports for each of her walks. He was kind to her and understanding of her needs, and provided photos and info about each walk. Definitely would have him walk for us again in the future!”

“Savannah was great with my dogs. Very professional and takes great care of the pups”

“Paola was reliable and respond to messages quickly. Will definitely keep her as one of our regular dog walker.”

“Elizabeth was an absolute lifesaver by taking my last minute request to walk and feed my dog. She offered a meet and greet and ensured she was familiar with unlocking and locking the door and about what I needed her to do for Macho. She sent me an update at the end of her visit and assured me I didn't need to rush to respond immediately. She spent more time than she had to and I greatly appreciate it. Elizabeth is courteous and kind and polite and this was my first experience using this service but it will definitely not be my last. Thank you again!”

Samira N.

“I’m glad Kim was our first experience with Rover because we are dog sitting a potential second dog for our household, and it was important to us that we gave exercise to our puppy. He was professional and gave updates along the way from arrival to completion. Definitely more than satisfied with his services and will be rebooking!”

About: I have taken care of a large variety of pets, including cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and rodents. They have ranged from newborn to elderly, and I have experience with pets with behavioral and medical concerns. I have worked in a professional capacity as a dog groomer and in a boarding facility, and trained my own puppy, Maisie! I've been petsitting since I was young, starting with neighbors and family, and animal care remains one of my greatest passions. I'm excited to meet your beautiful pets! At this time, I'm not offering overnight services, because my own puppy is too young to be left alone at night. Throughout the day I am available to dedicate my energy to making sure your pet is happy and having all of their needs met ♥️ As a pet owner myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to be away from your pets. For that reason, I make sure that I know exactly the routine and requirements you're looking for in a sitter, and I keep regular communication with you — both to ensure your expectations are met and to share updates and cute photos of your furbabies whenever requested. I know how central my pets' well-being is to my life, and the safety and happiness of your beloved companions are no less important to me.

About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.

About: I’ve cared for my 2 big babies for about 8 years now. At first I had only one dog, then she got pregnant and I helped deliver all her babies at home. We found homes for all of them, but we kept one. So now they are mother and daughter duo. I’m currently open to work from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday through Friday. Please consider me to take care of your fur baby when you’re away from home. At home I have two loving dogs that are freed to roam everywhere. They are friendly with people just not so much other fur babies.

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a cattle ranch in a small town in Utah, surrounded by animals of all kinds. From livestock and horses to chickens, goats, potbellied pigs, and multiple family dogs, caring for animals was simply a part of everyday life. Those experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique personalities and needs of different animals from an early age. As an adult, my passion for animals has only grown. I personally trained my own service dog, gaining valuable experience in obedience training, behavior management, consistency, and building strong bonds through trust and communication. Today, I share my home with three amazing dogs: my service dog and her two sisters. After close friends sadly passed away, I adopted her sisters so they could remain together. The girls have been inseparable since they were puppies, and watching their lifelong bond has deepened my appreciation for the emotional connections dogs form with one another. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, structured routines, or plenty of affection, I provide attentive, dependable care and treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is my daily life. With open availablity and work from home it works out great for me as a bay area photographer it gives me the time to spend with the pups with minimal time away. right now, I am taking care of clients for babies at their homes taking them for walks to their favorite places hikes and if the client wants play dates with my girls following feeding and medication requirements and needs for each individual Pup

About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he turned 7 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

About: Hello! I recently lost my 14 yr old dachshund and 14 yr old shih tzu and am taking a step to share my time and space with new fur friends! Currently working from home 2-3 days per week and changes weekly. Open to coordinating schedules to align to what’s best for you and your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals in or around us. I had my 2 dogs for 14 years and am comfortable with most anything your pet will need. Medicine, exercise, crating

“Lixin was wonderful and easily navigated remote access to a gated community. She was able to give my pup some great exercise and me some peace of mind :) highly recommend booking with Lixin!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, including large dogs weighing 100+ lbs, and I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, attention, exercise, and plenty of love. I’m responsible, attentive, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs.

I have pets of my own, so I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, and pet sitting. I’m also comfortable following your pet’s usual routine so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship not just the basics. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I follow each pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, playtime, and care instructions closely.

I foster with rescues, so I am comfortable with a variety of personality types and special needs. I offer cat and dog boarding in my home, as well as in home visits. I also offer advanced care – baths, nail trimming, administering meds, including subcutaneous fluids and injections (B12, insulin, etc.). Having kitties and pups of my own my whole life, I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your fur babies when you are away. I would be honored to help you.

About: I've had Lucky, a small Chihuahua, for 14+ years. I've helped taken care of Benji (3yo Pomeranian) since he was 6 months old, Tommy (5+yo Pom / Chihuahua mix) since 2016, and Dexter (In Training Service Dog) for the past 2 years. My family has relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets for many years. I am also a proud cat owner of three beautiful babies; a rescued tabby named Maebury, a white long-haired domestic named Beatraux, and an elderly tabby named Meeko! With my own pets, pet care is a daily routine of playtime, feeding time (two times per day) and clean up with my cats. I take family dog walks daily. My house unfortunately is not very fit for home services, but I can easily provide walking amenities for flexible dog walking and temporary cat sitting.
