Dog Walking in El Cerrito

“Nick is the definition of a dog person. As a lifelong dog owner with over 5 years of professional dog-walking and -caretaking experience, any dog is in great hands when with Nick. He and I worked together as dog walkers for many years, and Nick has also cared for my dog. He not only has a great instinct for how to communicate with and hold dogs' attentions, but also quite simply, he gives them loving and thoughtful care in his work. Highly recommend.”

“I had a great experience with Deborah. I was in a pinch and needed someone to take my dogs on midday walks this week, and she immediately responded to my request and confirmed availability. She sent adorable “report cards” of their walks and was right on time both days. I really appreciated her care!”

“Lili is very responsive to the human and very attentive to the dog. My dog won’t eat around strangers but Lili manages to earn her trust on the first visit. Highly recommend Lili!”

“Alexandra is great! Very responsive to messages and great with our dogs. She also pays attention to details and points out anything of concern, including noticing a tick on one of our dogs that we were than able to take care of. She has been super helpful and we utilize her services anytime we can!”

“Chrystal is an exceptional pet caregiver! Her dedication, compassion, and attention to detail make her the perfect choice for your furry friends. I trust her completely with my dogs.”

“Mason was great with our Weimaraner. He worked with her starting when she was 2months old and often assisted with bathing or cleanup while we were at work. As she got older he would run her or play fetch at a nearby park to help with her insane amounts of energy. He was always patient and very gentle, we would have no problem recommending him to others.”

About: I am a new transfer to Cal this year and am really hoping to be the right fit for your furry friend. I am missing my pets back home and definitely need some animal time! I’ve been pet sitting (cats and dogs) for the last 6 years and also was a volunteer at the humane society in my hometown. I am a lifelong vegan and have a huge respect for animals. I will take the time to know you and your pet and also want to make sure that I am able to provide a safe and fun environment for your fur baby. If you have a dog that needs a good run, I’m happy to go out and exercise with him/her. If you have a pet that really just needs a lot of cuddling, that’s great too. And if your pet is a bit of both - wonderful. :) My schedule is pretty flexible, as I’m currently a student. I have some set class times that I can’t miss, but I can be available at different times throughout the day and night, as well as during the weekends. I live in an apartment that is not pet-friendly, so wouldn’t be able to provide care in my own home. But I’m open to pet care in your home, walks, pet check-ins and playtime, etc. I’m happy to answer any questions you have. I know it’s a big decision to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so please reach out if you have any questions about me. Thanks so much!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me walk, feed and bathe their pet. I’m currently work part time, so I got plenty of time to play with your dog! Normally I’m available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday afternoon. I can be a good company of your dog, I can talk with them, play games with them, and learn train them to behave better.

“Pat is great! He's very making friends with my very skittish little guy, and has shown great patience with him. He's flexible and willing to work with me on scheduling. I'm looking forward to having him come regularly.”

“Embodying the perfect blend of passion and professionalism, Kathleen is a dog lover extraordinaire! With a natural gift for connecting with furry companions, her dog care service is unparalleled. Trustworthy, attentive, and dedicated, Kathleen ensures every pup receives top-notch care and an adventure-filled walk. Her reliability and genuine love for animals make her the ideal choice for any pet parent seeking a caring and responsible dog walker. Highly recommend her services for a tail-wagging experience! You won't regret it.”

“It's hard to review something you don't see! My girl was always happy to see Nathaniel when he came, and she came home from her walks worn out, so I have to assume all went well. He was usually on time and easy to work with.”

“Kristina is an awesome person and has been wonderful as our dog walker in the past. She really helped build a layer of trust with our pup, that we didn’t have before we met her!”

About: I am good with big or small dogs and all breeds. I have dog sit for friends and family many times while they were on vacation or just for an emergency one night stay. I currently work but I have all day availability on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I also accept same day bookings for any time of the day. I live in an apartment right now but there is a dog park down the street that I can transport the pet to for walks or socializing with other pets.

“Marcy is one of about 5 humans my dog likes -- and not just likes, loves! My dog is very skittish and slow to warm up, but Marcy knew exactly what to do to gain her trust and love. Marcy is calm and confident and clearly has a lot of experience with all types of dogs and their quirks. Every time she is with Marcy, she comes back perfectly tired and content. It's a relief knowing that my dog is always happy and in good hands whenever she is with Marcy.”

“Kate was very thorough with excellent communication. She treated our pup like one of her own and we couldn’t be more grateful! Definitely recommend and will use again!”

“Irene has been wonderful walking with TeTe. She is timely, very open in her communication, and is very sweet with TeTe.”

“Alexandra has walked my dogs for two summers now, and they absolutely love her! They are so excited when they see her! She is always upbeat, positive, and responsible, sharing with me photos from their walks as well as the routes she walks them on. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“I have know Milciela for about 19 years. She has always loved animals. I have left my dog, MeiMei, with her many times, and she has alway taken great care of her. Your pet will be in good hands with Milciela.”

“Dottie and I are so grateful for Lauri!”
