Dog Walking Echo Lake

“I highly recommend this dog walker! He was extremely reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog. His updates were very detailed and descriptive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He always kept me informed about the walk, my dog’s behavior, and anything noteworthy. I truly appreciated the thorough communication and excellent care he provided.”

“Sydney is the absolute best! This is my second time using her dog walking services. She is punctual, caring, communicative, and treats my Carter like her own!”

Kristen P.

“Brittany is awesome! I hired her to walk my new 10-week-old puppy on the days that I work, and she was always reliable and punctual. She sent photos and consistently spent more time with my puppy than I asked her to. I was able to go to work with complete ease knowing that Brittany was there taking great care of my puppy. Highly recommend!”

“Marvin is always so reliable and great with Koda. He gives a detailed description on how the walks went and will be sure to communicate any delays or things that happen, etc. We will be using his services again.”

Renee S.

“Ella is a great dog walker and has been reliable the entire summer for my pup. She is a hardworking college student who has a flexible schedule during the summers, so it works out great.”

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

“Nancey did a great job taking care of my girl. She was flexible with the scheduling, showed up on time, and kept in touch throughout. Will book again as needed.”

“Michael offered to do a meet and greet beforehand which meant a lot to us. We were away for 9 days. On each of those 9 days, Michael would walk our dog twice a day and send us wonderful update photos and videos. He even would spend time in our house on a couple of the days it was raining, which meant a lot to us. Michael is very professional, and responsive, respectful, and I will be booking with Michael in the future.”

“Really nice and great with Pepper”

About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs, cats, and other pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication reminders, and maintaining their normal routines with care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule in-home visits around my work schedule and prioritize reliable, consistent care with regular communication and updates. My preference is providing in-home visits at the pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I can accommodate care in my home for special circumstances when needed.

“We loved meeting Minnie! Our meet and greet was very positive! She sent me pictures of my dog 🐕 and My cat 🐈‍⬛ Mona also approached her the first time she met Minnie m! and she is usually a bit fussy around people lol . She left me a note 📝 telling me how the walk went with my dog! . Really appreciate it!!”

About: I grew up around animals and helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, cattle, and even bees on my dad’s farm. That experience made me very comfortable around animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, check-ins, and following their normal routines. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in nursing school with a fairly flexible schedule outside of class and clinical days. I keep my Rover calendar updated and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week, including many mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll also treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Barbara did an excellent job with Murphy. She sent me pictures and left commentary as to what would be helpful. And from the photos she left Murphy appeared to really like her. I highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially dogs and cats, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’m new to pet sitting, but I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently started pet sitting as a side hustle while I work toward one of my biggest goals: saving for my own home. I’m excited to turn something I love into an opportunity to reach that goal while helping other pet owners feel comfortable. I work full-time as an Ultrasound Tech during the week, so I’m available for afternoon/evening walks and overnight stays. I have a very open and flexible schedule on weekends and can accommodate different times and care needs. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. For overnight stays, I’m happy to stay in the home so the pets can remain in their familiar environment rather than being stressed by a new place. For drop ins/walks , I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible and keep the owner updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pet is doing.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field, including emergency and ICU care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those with medical needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize clear communication with owners through updates, photos, and transparency. My goal is to provide not just care, but peace of mind while you’re away. Flexible schedule with weekday and weekend availability. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m reliable and will always communicate any scheduling needs in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my background in veterinary emergency and ICU care, I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and any special needs. I’m big on communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: Growing up, I was always around animals because my grandma had lots of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I would always go to her house to help take care of them and play with them. I also love meeting and spending time with my neighbors’ and friends’ animals. These experiences have taught me to patient, responsible, and caring for every pet. And I hope to build a friendship with yours pet as well!💜 I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time before and after class to care for your pets. I also love working out and taking walks at the park, and it came to mind that getting steps in is even better with a furry friend. 💜 Overall, for animals, I am available when needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’ll also make sure they have everything they need and keep their space clean and comfortable.

About: I like to call myself the dog whisper. I am 33 year old, NY Real Estate Agent, and a huge dog lover. I rescued my dog when he was just 3 1/2 months old. But who rescued who I always ask myself! I grew up with 4 boxers and that’s when I fell in love with dogs. I’ve helped my brothers raised their dogs. I love all dogs, no matter the breed! Would love to take them to the beach, on a long walk, or overnight care if needed. I am always the first called or suggested from all of my friends and family members! I have a fenced in back yard as well for them to play, hangout, and business! I love taking my dog to the dog park or beach everyday! All my friends love the attention I give their dogs when they go away on vacation because I am always active with them. Back in NY I would take them hiking! I do this full time. So I’m available for care 24/7. My partner will also be here as well! Someone will always be here with the dogs. I have a fenced in yard where they can play care free! Beautiful trees for shade. Or they can lounge on the couch inside in the air!

About: I only take one family’s dog (or dogs) at a time — never a mixed group, never a crowded house. That’s a deliberate choice, not a limitation: it means your pet gets my full attention the entire visit or stay, in a calm, low-stress environment instead of competing for space and attention with other people’s animals. It’s why my rates run higher than sitters who take multiple families at once — you’re booking exclusive care, not a spot in a group. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt to what actually makes them comfortable — not a one-size-fits-all routine. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who need extra patience. You’ll get regular photo updates and clear communication throughout. My goal is simple: you enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved — with no one else’s pet in the picture. My flexible schedule lets me provide attentive care throughout the day, not just quick in-and-out visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I tailor my availability to fit their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog — or one family’s dogs — at a time, so every guest gets personalized attention in a calm, uncrowded home environment. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine: feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible in the comfort of their own home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes throughout my life as small as a teacup schnauzer to as big as a blue healer. What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care about animals and their comfort. I take time to bond, play, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time after work or on my off days to care for your pets while you’re away. I will not be watching pets at my own home, however, I am comfortable following whatever schedule you and your pet currently follow. If your pet needs to be crated after my visit I can do that.
