Dog Walking in Hayward Highland, Hayward, CA

“My husband and I have been looking for a new walker and this was our first time working with Katie. She is communicative and also very understanding of our needs. Kiki can be a little too much when meeting others for the first time, but Katie handled her behaviors well! Thank you again :)”

About: I follow each dog’s lead and make sure they feel happy, safe, and relaxed, explore, and move at their pace. Simple care, happy dogs, Happy walks, wagging tails, safe returns. From energetic walks to relaxed strolls, I make sure every dog gets the fun and care they deserve, and always return home safe, happy, and wagging their tail. I focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions — so pets stay relaxed and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for dogs and grew up with my sweet cocker spaniel Bella, who was by my side for 15 amazing years. Towards the last years of her life, I really took the initiative to be by her side and constantly look after her. Now, I have a King Charles Cavalier named Bowie. My family and I got him when he was only a few months old, so I took a big part in helping raise/train him. He’s cuddly, loving, and playful, and always keeps me smiling. I’m a 19-year-old pre-nursing student at CSU East Bay, born and raised in Chula Vista. Right now I am currently in school but my entire weekdays/weekends are free. All I need is to know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I know how much pets are a part of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I am also someone who follows the rules and will follow any instructions that are given to me.

About: I am a PSI Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS), and Pet First Aid and CPR certified. This means I have been rigorously trained in animal behavior, safety, health and best practices in pet care. I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including spoiled fur children, senior dogs with limited mobility, anxious pups needing a gentle touch, and energetic companions in search of fun adventures. My passion for understanding and caring for animals is deeply rooted in a lifetime of experience, both personally and professionally. While my formal background spans over 25 years in leadership, management, and coaching – skills that ensure a highly organized, professional, and reliable service – my heart has always been connected to the well-being of pets. This experience, combined with my insights into behavior and communication (both human and animal), allows me to connect with your furry friend on a deeper level, ensuring they feel secure and happy while you're away. My approach is centered on providing individualized attention, respecting each pet's unique personality and routine, and creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment in their own home or while visiting. So, whether your doggo is a spoiled fur baby, senior sage or a puppy prodigy, connect with me and let’s make tails wag and hearts melt, one paw print at a time! ❤️ 🐾 As the dedicated owner of Chateau De Pups, my elite pet care and management business, my daily and weekly schedule is entirely structured around the bespoke needs of each fur child, ensuring unwavering consistency and dedicated attention. I provide a secure, nurturing, and impeccably clean environment, adhering strictly to established routines and safety protocols, whether in the comfort of your home or our home. I am highly attentive to their behavior and cues, ensuring I can identify and address any signs of stress or discomfort promptly. I follow all care instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules and medications to exercise routines and specific handling preferences. Building trust is paramount. I do this through consistent, positive interactions with your pet and clear, reliable communication with you.

“Thank you Dani. I appreciate how well you communicated via the app on your availability and even your arrival for Harley’s walk. Our boy got a good walk today and he’s a happy dog.”

“My husband was gone on a business trip and I needed some help walking Kiki in the afternoons. I wanted someone experienced with pitties just in case some of her behaviors came out during the walk and Alex did great! She was always super excited to see him and we can’t wait to book him again :)”

Stephanie Q.

“Alex is solid. He had his hands full for 5 days with our two fur babies, a chow and a pit, and he delivered. No easy task considering how hard our pit pulls on walks. Great communication and no worries. I strongly recommend Alex and would definitely hire again. Thanks Alex!”

About: Growing up I had many animals including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, leopard geckos, snakes, and more. From a young age I had the responsibility of these animals wants and needs. Over the years I have gained skills, tactics, and knowledge for certain things and am confident in my abilities to handle any animal ranging in age, size and needs. I work part time working with dogs so I have plenty of time to be with yours!! I am available mainly any time just COMMUNICATE! I will make things work! I do attend college however I am free to board with the exception of having to attend class/work. I am able to check in with dogs between classes. Although I don’t board dogs at my home quite yet, my fur baby is house trained along with crate trained. I have a big yard he goes and plays in and throughout the week he boards at my work for daycare. I love exercising weather that’s going for a walk or going on a hike (willing to find dog friendly trails) and more.

About: Hi! I’ve spent most of my professional life working in animal care, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and daily routines.

I’m able to accommodate morning, daytime, evening and last-minute requests whenever possible.

I’m also willing and comfortable caring for other pets, and I keep owners updated so they know their animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away I am self employed working as a shopper with instacart and doordash, so I can be very flexible with the needs of the family and pet.

“Nick was engaging and attentive with my two dogs. I have two large dogs, with different personalities. Nick was able to manage and walk my puppy Australian Husky who can be very stubborn and mischievous, while engaging my Golden Doodle who loves to play fetch. I would definitely book him again.”

About: I’m a pet mom of a dog, a cat, and two birds of my own, so I really understand how important pets are—they’re family. I always pay close attention to routines, personalities, and little habits. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away❤️ I work remotely, which gives me a flexible day to provide drop-in visits whenever your pet needs a check-in, meal, or some playtime. I make sure each visit fits smoothly into your pet’s routine. I treat your pet and your home with care and respect. I follow instructions closely, make sure pets are safe and secure, and send photo updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly.

About: I take care of more than just dogs and cats. Any guinea pigs, rabbits and birds are welcome too! There is a second story to the house for smaller animals like the above and for cats. Downstairs and the backyard is for boarding dogs. I can care for all sizes of dogs! Fulfilling pet care services for pet parents is currently my full-time job! I offer: dog walks; drop in services for feeding & other petcare needs; sitting in your home; boarding in my home upon scheduling. I have 2 locations to board dogs, both locations are within a mile of one another. I try to make it as homely for the pet as possible. If they would like to follow me around the house that is acceptable if they are potty trained. I garden in the backyard and they are more than welcome to join me outside! Many potty breaks for the puppers! Cats will stay on the second floor along with any small (non-K9) pets.

“First time having Ching walk my dog. She was quick in her response and accommodated a last minute request. Will definitely be asking her to walk Augustus again!”

About: While I currently care for 4 adorable rat boys in my home, I have experience with small to medium sized dog and cat care. I've grown up around both dogs and cats and have experience with introductory potty/behavior training and medical care (such as administering medicine and fluids). I have experience with volunteering at animal shelters and have even spent time abroad volunteering to care for street dogs and livestock in India. I'm a Stay-at-home-parent who is trying to transition back into working outside the home now that my child is regularly attending school. I work freelance from home and am hoping to fill in the gaps in my day by meeting and caring for some new furry friends! I am happy to feed and bathe pets, take them for walks, engage them with play time and even do some gentle training during my brief visits. I am comfortable playing with them inside your home or outside.

About: I’ve spent 5 years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight stays, always tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Since I’m retired and stay at home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and give them the consistent attention they need. I believe pets deserve a safe, calm, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. At my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I make sure water bowls are always full, and I follow each pet’s feeding, exercise, and medication schedule carefully.
