Dog Walking Hegenberger

About: I am very good at training puppies. And have grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life, from dogs to horses to turtles to chicken and pigs. I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was a kid and love to have a fur friend around. Happy to take them out and walk and explore nature. I like to run and hike and bike and a companion on the way is a bonus. They will be greeted with calm warmth and care. I work on trips and when I am home I am home and can be flexible about where I work. This allows me to be present to the pets I care for and to adjust to their needs. I will probably have a run or workout at some point in the day or meet a friend but am quite present. I have a fenced backyard and live by myself in a peaceful quiet space. I enjoy a walk with a fur friend to get out and move and consider it a bonus to have a buddy along.

“Thanks so much, Serena! You’re so great!”

“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”

“Meredith is amazing! She was attentive, friendly, reliable and the dogs love her. She gives them a lot of time to sniff around and check out their surroundings. Can’t say enough about how comforting it was to know they were in good care.”

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and for the past 3+ years I've been pet sitting on and off with my mom. I currently have a 6-year-old husky and two tuxedo cats of my own, so I understand both high-energy dogs and independent cats — and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur babies. I treat every pet like they're my own — with patience, attention, and a whole lot of care. I'd be honored to be someone you and your pet can count on. What sets me apart: - Husky experience — I know high-energy, strong-willed breeds need real exercise, patience, and structure. I'm comfortable with big dogs, pullers, and pups who need a little extra understanding. - Cat-savvy — With two tuxedo cats at home, I get that cats have their own rules. I'm patient, gentle, and respectful of their space and quirks. - Calm and dependable — I'm the kind of sitter who shows up on time, follows your routine exactly, and keeps you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. - Patient with all personalities — Whether your pet is shy, anxious, playful, or a little stubborn, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe. - Genuine love for animals — This isn't just a job for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, learning their personalities, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm available for boarding and sitting on weekends, and on weekdays after 2pm. My routine is flexible, so I can usually accommodate drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays with a little notice. Whether your pup needs a mid-day walk or a cozy weekend sleepover, I'll make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and love while you're away! In my home: Your pet will be treated like family. I have a 6-year-old husky and two tuxedo cats of my own, so I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs and independent cats. My home has a safe, pet-friendly setup with plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. I keep a close eye on everyone during introductions and always supervise interactions between pets. Your pup will get regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention — plus all the cuddles they want. In your home: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any special instructions you leave. I'm respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're gone. I'll send you photos and updates, so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve long been the trusted, go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including month long stays with a young puppy where I supported potty training and first outdoor walks. I grew up with dogs, so caring for animals feels natural to me and something I genuinely love. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I help care for two dogs at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general attention are things I’m involved with every day. This makes caring for other pets feel seamless and familiar. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules are followed, fresh water is always available, and pets get plenty of attention, play, and exercise as needed. I keep living spaces clean, handle litter boxes or waste promptly, and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment.

About: Through having dogs myself, dog walking, and taking care of friends dogs for the past 9 years I have experience sitting, walking, and playing with dogs. In the past year I have adopted the sweetest dog named Cariño, a 35 pound terrier mix, and have cared for them through their puppy stages and now into adulthood! I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break. I have a car so I can come to you and live walking distance from Lake Merritt. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to go on hikes, walks, or check in on your pup! I am flexible during weekdays and am unavailable on weekends currently. I have experience raising my own currently one and a half year dog. I can easily crate your dog and leave them well-rested. I do not let dogs go outside unleashed unless there are specific instructions to do so. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to make things work with your pet needs whether it's morning, middle of the day, or early evenings. I am not accepting pets in my home because we have a dog and a cat who are a bit sensitive to other pet friends.

“Elyse was amazing! Our normal dog walker bailed on us last minute, so we needed someone fast. Elyse went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable with her and had great communication with us. She is super sweet and our pitties love her!!!”

About: I am an all around animal lover with extensive experience in the care for and training of cats and dogs. Pawsitive reinforcement and clicker training have been my focus. I have worked in a doggy day care/boarding facility in San Francisco and gained hands-on experience on caring for 20-50 dogs at once. I have always cared for my friend's and family's pets as well. I also worked at a doggy day care in Fremont, CA caring for about 15-20 dogs on a daily basis including overnight care. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover all my life. My first memories are those in which I was in contact with animals. My passion for dogs came to me as a child and over the years I learned many training methods and hope to help all dogs in need of attention/love/training. About my yard I currently have no yard. My experience administering medication I have experience in administering various medications and would be please to help take care of a special needs pup. I have lots of experience with dogs that get siezures as well.

“Ashlyn helped me in a pinch to take care of my pup when I was at work. She did a meet and greet first where my dog took to her immediately (normally a little shy). Left great, detailed notes from the walk and even took some of my packages inside—thank you!”

“Sydney was an absolute trooper getting the harness on my dog. Penny was very skittish about someone else putting it on her, but they were super patient and had a successful walk! They also paid great attention to the house alarm system/lock and had no issues with following directions. Would highly recommend for their calm, patient, and caring attitude!”

“Anais is consistently punctual, helpful, and thinks critically about what might be beneficial for your pet. She is my go-to Rover partner and I never have to worry when she’s on the schedule to walk my dog!”
