Dog Walking Five Brooks

“Ari was nice and easy to deal with. Upon first meeting Frida, he picked right up on her energy and kept her calm. He worked great with our dog, and was clearly an experienced dog walker and animal lover. Thanks Ari!”

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

“We have had lots of dog walkers over the years as my wife is a doctor, and her on call schedule is chaotic. We found Zack after our previous dog walker moved away. Our 2 year old Husky Lizzie is very high energy and requires a lot of attention and a competent handler. Zack is that and so much more! He is extremely in control and understands her behavior and how to get the best out of her. He is affectionate to Lizzie, and she always is so happy when we get home. Zack is one of the absolute best we have had. He is considerate of time and schedule”

“Veronica is THE BEST! She is a great communicator, is on-time, has great energy, and most importantly, my dog loves her. Can't say enough good things. Highly recommend for dog walking and pet care.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my sister 4 dogs, 15 cats, 1 & bunny. I’m managed to feed all of them, playing with them & showing love to each of them I’m currently working part time because I’m attending college so I’ll be able to work Monday through Friday but I can able make extend time during the weekends if I’m not busy I’ll make sure the pets are safe, comfortable, & cared for. I’ll follow any instructions you provide to keep a eye on your pets & make sure they have food, water, feel loved, & attention

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

“Brenda was communicative and easy to work with! My dog lived going on walks with her while I was away”

“Wow Cora is amazing! She helped us out during a family emergency and was able to come over to take care of our girls at the last minute. She sent lots of pictures and a video, and even braved the rain to give them exercise. I highly recommend working with Cora.”

About: I am an avid dog lover and truly a lover of all animals. I have been a proud owner of many different dogs in my lifetime and I am dedicated to caring for dogs that are in need. Since my early youth I have always been the "go to" person to tend to family pets and those of neighbors and friends, along side my own. I have been fortunate to have learned from those experiences and I pride myself on sharing all that knowledge with every pet in need or not. One of my dogs "Woody" a 75 pound mixed breed that I could not imagine being without, actually attended University with me and everyone on campus adored him. Dogs need to feel safe and cared for and in return they offer the same comforts to people. I know what it means to truly care for animals and I believe they are as drawn to me as I am to them. I have worked for the Humane Society as well as several Veterinarians' offices throughout my many years of pet care. In my youth, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always imagined myself as a Vet. Although I never achieved that goal, the years I spent learning from others has not gone to waste. I am quick on my feet to respond to any issue(s) that needs my immediate attention and I personally believe that when caring and giving love and attention to pets I am not only providing a service but in return I am rewarded beyond any financial gain. I am extremely trust worthy and know that our furry friends are family too and deserve to be cared for, loved, have a safe place to call their home away from home whenever in need and above all will be treated by someone who appreciates their uniqueness. No expectation is to much for me to accommodate as needed. I will gladly go above and beyond to ensure that the pet(s) that I care for and their owners are MORE than satisfied. Guaranteed! I am currently not working away from my home and so my schedule can easily become your schedule as needed. Full boarding available for scheduling 7 days a week including holidays. FOR FIRST TIME ROVER USERS, USE PROMO CODE: WORLDP38657 FOR AN ADDITIONAL SAVINGS. I have a spacious home for boarding which is away from the street level with an extensive backyard as well as open space with several nearby parks for walks and playtime. I live in a popular dog walking area that is also very safe. My home offers easy access for any bathing and or grooming needs, no matter how big or small your pet may be. I can also crate your pet(s) upon request. Visits, pickups and drop offs are also available, safe and secure. I am currently working part time from home which makes me available around the clock. I enjoy walking and driving which opens the door to new parks and walking experiences throughout the Marin County area and beyond. I enjoy the 3 big 'W's. Wind, Wheels, and Water. I find that most animals also enjoy at least 1 if not all 3 so finding something to do or somewhere to go is an easy reach. If your pet(s) prefer to spend their time at home, with little to no real change in routine, that is fine too. I have a fenced yard which is secure and safe for small dogs as well as large dogs. Behind my home is open space which provides the option of enjoying a walk or playtime without having to be around other people or dogs. I am currently working from my home so your schedule can easily become my schedule so that I may accomodate you and your pet(s) needs 24/7. I have a spacious home and open space as an extension to my backyard which allows your pet to not have to deal with other pets or people whenever needed.

About: I've fostered dogs in my home and cared for dogs and cats in other people's homes and am excited to do more of both! I got into housesitting several months ago and love getting to spend focused time and attention on animals while their people are away. While fostering dogs, I worked on light training - improving walking manners, comfort with strangers, and basic commands. I cared for my dogs for a few weeks to several months until they were adopted and loved getting updates from their new families about their progress. I make time for your animals as they need it! I work part time, which allows plenty of time for walks, playing fetch, cuddle sessions, and on-time meals. If temperament allows, I’ll take your pup with me to dog-friendly spots in town and along longer walking paths and trails. I'm new to California and settling in the area. I'm excited to explore different neighborhoods, meet cool people, and spend time with your furry friends. If I’m staying in your home, I’m in your best friends’ space. Whatever they’re used to, is what they’ll get, whether that’s permission (or not) to get on furniture, sleep with me in bed, and set our walking schedule.

About: I have experience with birds, cats, and small to very large dogs! I am willing to train if needed for your dogs. Cats and birds are welcome! I work as a mobile X-ray tech and have availability after 3:30 Tuesday through Saturday. I am free on Sundays and Mondays the full day. :) I am trustworthy and loving towards your pet care needs, I have plenty of grass at the park near my home for dogs to run!

“Paul was so patient with my new rescue dog who is very hesitant and hostile with new people. He was careful with a slow intro. Paul is so intuitive and understanding of dogs and it was amazing to see him work a little magic with my dog.”

About: Hi! I’m Atusa — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds and personalities. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had my share of cherished companions. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing gentle care and medication, I’ve seen and supported it all. I genuinely enjoy long walks with dogs, quiet lap time with cats, and creating a calm, loving space so your pet feels safe, seen, and comfortable while you're away.

This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent presence throughout the day. Whether your animal needs structure, companionship, or just someone to hang out with, I’m available and present — not just dropping by between errands or rushing out the door. At this time, I only offer in-home visits and house sitting at my clients’ homes. I find that most pets feel happiest and most secure in their own familiar space, with their routines and surroundings intact. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. I aim to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe, calm, and well loved while you're away.
