“Justin was great! Communicated well and brought the baby home happy and ready for a nap!”

Martin E.

“Was delighted to partner with Kirsten on my puppy’s first dog sitting experience!! Kirsten showed up on time so I could attend a work event stress free and was a great communicator! She played with her and cuddled with her and when I got home form a work event, she was a sleepy, happy, puppy!”

Jabulile D.

“Ryan is great! Prompt, kind, and Rosie fell in love with him the moment he arrived. We will definitely be working with him for walks as much as we can.”

Samantha B.

“Matthew was great with Winni! He took her for walks during the day while my husband and I were at work. He’s very professional, communicative, and dependable. We would definitely book him again!”

“We hired Becca to walk our lovely senior dog twice a day for a few days because we had to go on a Tahoe trip. She was great and kept us updated with cute pictures of our dog! We had a slight issue with the key fob not working but she was great at communication and problem solved effortlessly. Definitely will hire her again!”

“Alison was very very helpful with my puppy Mellow. She followed all the directions I gave and made me feel at ease knowing my puppy is getting the care we want. She was punctual and sent some cute update pics of Mellow, which I loved seeing at work. I feel comfortable with Allison walking my little guy. 😇”

Keer K.

“We feel like we hit the jackpot finding John to be our regular walker. He treats our dog just like we do (and talks to our dog just like we do too, which if you’re a pet owner, you know is the sign of a good caretaker). Our dog absolutely loves him and even though we unfortunately don’t need a daily walker right now, we are still asking John to keep walking our dog every week because we don’t want to lose him!”

Samantha B.

“Jerri was very comfortable with our 2 big dogs greeting har at the door. They can be a bit overwhelming, but she handled their attention. She provided along walk for our husky and was very confident and personable.”

Nu & Jack H.

“I just used Izzy’s services (neighborhood walks) for a few days, but my dog loved her and she took great care of him. Easy to communicate with and very caring.”

Emily I.

“Sarah is a great dog walker! She is very communicative and takes great care of my dog on walks.”

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

“Jes is always on time and in this difficult transition he has been a tremendous help for my dog Shadow! I will continue to hire him! Jess is fantastic with my dog!”

Marguerite V.

“As always, she is so happy to be picked up and absolutely loves the walks!! Her recall is also becoming incredible and I’m so grateful for Zoey!!”

About: Hey there! 🐾 My Wi-Fi name is "House of Dogues". That probably tells you everything you need to know about me. I've been around pups my whole life: walks, sits, feedings, bath time, you name it. Friends, family, neighbors have all trusted me with their fur babies, and I take that seriously. But also I make it really fun. Here's what makes me a little different: I follow the dog's lead. Some pups want a big adventure. Others want a slow sniff-everything kind of walk (honestly iconic). On our walks, they pick the route. I'm just happy to be invited. I also put together little enrichment activities because a stimulated dog is a happy dog, and yes, I talk to them like they understand everything I'm saying, because they do. I'm a big dog park person too, but I'm picky about it in the best way. I stick to parks where I already know the people and the dogs, so I know exactly what kind of environment your pup is walking into. No surprises, just good socialization with faces I trust. When your dog stays with me, they get a whole day tailored to their vibe: cozy, active, or somewhere in between. And you? You'll get so many photo and video updates you might actually forget you miss them. Might. At home I live with Totó, my shichihuahua who is fully convinced he runs this household (he does). He's taught me everything about big personality in a small body, and he's an excellent host. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs. I know how to give them the patience, gentleness, and extra love they deserve. My clients always say the same two things: they got way more updates than they expected, and they finally felt okay leaving their dog with someone. That's the whole goal. 🐶 I work remotely, which means I'm home most of the day and genuinely available, no scrambling, no rushing. Midday walk? Morning sit? Last-minute check-in? I can make it work. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my routine, it basically IS my routine. Your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Safety is everything to me, and so is making sure your pet actually enjoys their time. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pup always has water, food, and lots of love. On walks, I stick to routes and parks I know well, with dogs and people I already trust. No random off-leash situations, no surprises. At my place, it's calm, cozy, and very much a dog household (my Wi-Fi is literally called "House of Dogs"). Totó, my shichihuahua, is a great host as long as you respect that he's in charge.

About: have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both being a dog owner and pet sitting for others. I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle who I have raised and cared for since he was young, so l understand how important it is to provide dogs with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. Through caring for my own dog, I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, potty breaks, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe. I have also cared for other dogs for friends and family, which has helped me become comfortable working with dogs that have different personalities, routines, and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I'm patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet receives plenty of affection. playtime, and supervision while you're away. I'm also happy to follow any special routines or instructions you have so your dog feels as comfortable as possible. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle of my own. I make time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine based on your pet’s normal schedule and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I live in an apartment and make safety and supervision a priority at all times. Dogs are always leashed when leaving the apartment and carefully supervised in hallways, elevators, and outdoor areas. I make sure each pet has a comfortable and clean space to relax, along with regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. Since I also have a friendly Miniature Poodle, I would make sure dogs are introduced carefully and that everyone is comfortable around each other. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s feeding schedule, walking routine, house rules, and any special care instructions so their pet can feel as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: Ive lived with dogs for 20 years and know well their needs and how they act. I dogsit and walk dogs and cats from family and friends. Currently ive gotten interested in pursuing working with animals, so im very motivated to learn to handle and care for animals the best way possible. I have a dog like energy and like to play with the dogs too. I feel like a dog. And I want to meet more, they are all very unique and interesting. I do my best to give animals the care and love they deserve. Im a full time student, and part time worker.

When taking care of dogs, i will be home most of the time and take them on walks suiting their energy levels. I have a good sized fenced backyard and front yard for dogs to roam in. When not walking, i will let them do their own thing, giving them frequent attention and many pets. Cats, on the other hand, i will be more careful with regarding closeness. I will slowly let them get used to me when meeting them. When they know me, i will also give them frequent attention and lots of pets.

“Andy is such a great dog walker. He really does well with our two German shepherds. They are a lot to handle and he does it all with ease. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been raising a very cute black pug for four years. For some reason, I couldn’t bring him with me and I miss him a lot. I really love dogs, so I’d love to do some dog-related work in my free time. I’m happy to let dogs on the sofa or bed, since I always clean them up after walks to make sure both they and the environment stay clean. I’ve spent time with many different dogs, including some that were initially unfriendly. By offering treats, approaching them slowly, and taking the time to get to know them, I was able to build trust. I’m very patient with dogs! From Monday to Friday, I’m usually out for 2–4 hours a day, but I’m home all day on weekends. During my free time, I’m happy to take dogs out to play. 1. Diet: I carefully control meal portions and feeding times, and always make sure dogs stay hydrated—especially in hot weather. After walks, I wait 5–10 minutes before giving them water. 2. Hygiene: I clean eye discharge promptly and keep both the dogs and their environment clean. 3. Exercise: I walk dogs 2–3 times a day. 30min/walk. 4. Playtime: In my free time, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with them. 5. Companionship: I spend as much time with them as possible. 6. Safety on walks: Dogs are always leashed outside. I stay alert when they interact with other dogs and separate them immediately if there are signs of aggression. I also make sure they don’t eat things off the ground, and I always clean up after them. 7. Sleeping: I used to sleep with my own dog, so if your dog is used to that, they’re welcome to join me too.

About: I’m a loving, reliable, and attentive pet caregiver who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to provide personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication, or simply a little extra companionship, I’m happy to help. I care for both cats and dogs and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. My goal is for every pet to feel right at home and for every owner to have complete peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾❤️ Working part-time allows me a flexible schedule with plenty of dedicated availability to keep your cats engaged, pampered, and never feeling lonely while you are away. I provide in-home care directly at your place, ensuring your cats stay comfortable in their familiar environment. My visits focus entirely on their safety, security, and routine: * Home Security: I ensure all windows, doors, and balcony access remain securely closed and latched during every visit. * Safe Environment: I check for and remove any potential hazards, keeping toxic plants, stray items, and human food securely out of reach. * Clean & Tidy Maintenance: I keep feeding areas hygienic, refresh water daily, and meticulously maintain the litter boxes to keep your cat's space clean and stress-free. * Routine & Monitoring: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, keep a close eye on their health and behavior, and handle any required medications with care. * Peace of Mind: You receive reliable, detailed updates and photos after every visit so you always know your home and pets are safe.

About: I’ve been working with and caring for dogs for several years, and I currently run Still Hound, where I lead off-leash pack hikes for groups of up to six dogs. I am fully insured and permitted by East Bay Regional Park District for trail hikes. I’m also CPR certified and professionally certified as a dog walker. My experience includes managing multiple dogs in real-world environments, reading canine body language, maintaining reliable recall, and keeping dogs safe and engaged throughout their walks. My background is in dog handling and training, not just pet sitting. I work with dogs every day and pay close attention to behavior, communication, and individual needs. I’m comfortable with energetic, independent, or challenging dogs and understand how to provide structure while keeping walks enjoyable. My goal is for every dog to return home safely exercised, mentally engaged, and better understood. Dog care is a regular part of my daily routine. I run Still Hound’s pack hikes during the week and schedule individual walks and training sessions around those hikes. Because I work with dogs professionally, I’m able to offer flexible weekday availability and give each dog plenty of focused attention during their walk. I focus on creating a calm, structured, and safe environment tailored to each dog’s temperament and needs. During walks and training sessions, I use positive reinforcement, clear communication, and high-value treats to keep dogs engaged and responsive. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and group dynamics to ensure dogs are comfortable, socially appropriate, and safely managed at all times. My approach prioritizes consistency, trust, and real-world reliability both on and off leash.
