Dog Walking Hercules

About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I grew up in India caring for 8 stray dogs, and that experience shaped my deep sense of responsibility and love for animals. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and a Husky-Shepherd mix who keeps me on my toes (and very active!). I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy breeds to senior pups who just need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable giving medications, managing feeding routines, and handling multi-pet households with care and patience. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight sitting, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, attention, and lots of cuddles. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind matters, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos! I’m currently working full time Monday to Friday, and will be able to take care of your pets on weekends and in the evenings as needed. Also, if you’re closer to Napa, I can take up 30 minutes quick appointments. I have an apartment in a beautiful community, close to downtown Napa, hence your pet will be more than excited to go out to walk in the neighborhood and enjoy the crisp air and view!

“Super friendly and willing to navigate my loud schnauzer. Definitely will book her again!”

“I booked Victor for Dog Walking with less than 24hrs notice. Not only was he available and responded quickly - He still took the time and care to ask about Rick and make sure Rick and I were comfortable. Even better, after the walk he took the time to discuss with me any unusal things he noted (Rick peed less than his normal amount on his walk) as well as the positive/general behavioral feedback of my pup. Really excellent experience overall. Thank you!”

Amanda & Paul A.

“On time and keeps you updated. Thank you!”

About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One, Tiga, was rescued from my yard, and the other, Truffle, was adopted from a shelter. I also have plenty of experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. I’ve cared for cats that need medication as well. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can usually fit cat visits into my daily routine. I mainly offer drop-in visits and boarding for cats. I can help with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication if needed, and providing attention and playtime based on each cat’s personality and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for their space. I carefully follow all instructions, ensure pets are well fed and comfortable, and keep the home tidy. I understand that many cats can be shy, so I take a gentle, patient approach and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I also provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.

About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.

About: I grew up taking care of a German Shepherd until I was 15. Since then, I’ve taken every opportunity I’ve had to care for someone else’s dog(s)! I am comfortable will all ages of dogs and cats. I’ve rescued three cats, volunteered at shelters and cared for about 20 dogs for various clients, ranging from puppies to senior dogs! I am active and comfortable with getting your pet’s energy out. I am comfortable with training, commands, medicine, house upkeeping as well. I have a car that can be used for any necessary transport. I am currently available Monday-Sunday through the holiday season! Available for day-to-day, overnight, and for walks. Not available for boarding as my cat is terrified of other animals. I love being out in the sun, or the cold, and I’m more than happy to play with your dog all day everyday! I am attentive to the pet’s needs and wants, boundaries and sensitivities.

About: I am new to rover but not new to caring for animals. I have had all kinds of pets throughout of my life! Because of this, I consider myself to be attentive, patient, and empathetic. I know how it can be scary trusting a stranger with your pet but I can assure you, I'll treat them as my own. I am the type of person that points out every dog that walks by in awe! I have experience in basic training dogs & puppies. At the moment I have a Border Collie named Koffee that I co parent with my brother, this taught me how important communication is (this includes sending the cutest pics/vids of them). I also have experience with other animals, such as birds, hamsters, reptiles, bunnies, & fish! Hablo español y inglés! I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my life! I have a flexible schedule and I am available near by on most days. I treat all animals as if they were my own and I absolutely adore my pets so I know how important caring for someone else's pet. I also understand everyone has their own ways of parenting their pets so I respect everyones personal rules. I'd love to know about your pets particular needs or wants!

About: Local to Bay Area/Crockett for 2026 holiday sitting — I am very interested in providing my services ASAP, please reach out if you’re interested in booking! Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks. Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~25 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*

About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love dogs. (Actually, I love all animals!) I grew up with family dogs and adopted my own last year (she's a complete sweetie). I also have a cat, a bearded dragon, and fish. I worked in a local dog daycare and hotel for over three years and loved it! Now that I'm in a graduate program, I couldn't keep up the hours but missed the dogs. My favorite part of that job was walking the dogs and now I'd love to walk your dog. I really enjoy connecting with each dog, getting to know their personalities, taking care of them, and giving them the attention, stimulation, and fun that comes from being together and enjoying the day. I am currently working on my clinical hours for my degree and am busy Monday and Wednesday after noons 1-5pm and Thursdays at the same time and at 7am-10am every other week. Any other time is all good for me! When I take care of a pet, I care for them in any ways that they might need. I have had experiences with reactive dogs, dogs with specific medical needs, young dogs who are practicing training still, and senior dogs. I want to do what is most comfortable for the dog and am super happy to accommodate for any needs that they have when caring for them! I have experience reading and reacting to cat and dog body language and know when my presence is invited by them and when they might need more space. It's important to look for the animals consent and comfort when working with and taking care of them so they can remain as happy and stress free as possible!

About: Hello all! ☺️🐾 My name is Andrea and I am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I have had pets my whole life, I love spending time with them and caring for such beautiful animals. My dog, Benny, passed away in 2024, I had Benny for almost 17 years before he passed, I was devastated after his passing. I still think about him everyday. I took Benny on walks everyday and made sure to dedicate time for him throughout my day. I have not had the heart to get a new dog since Benny but I am still a work in progress and am sure that I will build up the courage to get a new fur baby someday. I’ve spent a few years taking care of family and friends pets and have always enjoyed their company, because of this I have decided to dedicate some time to take care of other fur babies! I love the feeling of being with animals, they bring so much comfort and warmth, these animals are our babies and deserve the world. 💕🐾 I’m excited to get to know you all! 😃 Apart from this I am a full time college student, I was born and raised in the Bay Area, I enjoy nature and hikes! I am currently a full-time college student but I have a flexible schedule Friday afternoon, Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings for those who enjoy going out on weekends. Please reach out for exact times and dates 😊 I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your care instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated! 🐾💕

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my deep commitment to creating a stress free, comfortable environment for your pup. I'm passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with each dog, and I trailor my care to their unique needs, whether they're energetic or more relaxed. My approach includes regular exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement to ensure they feel secure and loved while you're away. From soothing anxious pups to making sure they get their favorite walks and playtime, I go the extra mile to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and content in your absence. My flexible schedule as a musician and artist working from home allows me to offer reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. Whether it's hosting animals every day or accommodating specific needs, I have the time and space to ensure your pets get the attention they deserve. My routine includes regular play, care, and interaction, all while being adaptable to your pet's individual schedule. I tailor my care to each pet's specific needs, whether in your home or mine. At my home, pets are treated like family, with a safe and comfortable environment, plenty of playtime, and individualized attention. I maintain a routine that includes walks, meals, and enrichment activities to keep them happy and engaged. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible to minimize stress. I provide the same level of care and attention, including feedings, walks, playtime, and any additional needs such as medication or special instructions. Whether at my home or yours, I focus on creating a stress free loving atmosphere where your pets feel safe and happy.

About: What sets me apart is my patient, low-stress approach to caring for both cats and dogs. I let pets set the pace, offering gentle attention, interactive play, quiet companionship, or relaxed walks depending on their energy and mood, all while strictly maintaining their daily routines. I genuinely love animals, and nothing fills my cup more than spending quality time getting to know each unique fur buddy. I work from home with a highly flexible routine, which allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet drop-ins and house visits into my day. Because I set my own workflow, I can easily stick to strict feeding schedules, medication times, and midday check-ins without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their exact daily routines in an environment where they already feel safe. I follow your precise instructions for feeding schedules, fresh water refills, litter box maintenance, and medication administration. I allow cats and anxious pets to approach me at their own pace, offering gentle affection, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on their mood. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping doors secure, handling mail or plants if requested, and sending detailed visit updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.

About: I was lucky enough to have some amazing dogs in my life. As a teen a yellow lab named Bandit helped me through some of the toughest times of my life just by being my dog. Later in life a giant schnauzer named Effie came into my life. She was a big girl weighing in at 115 lbs. She was not the most energetic but navigating through day to day tasks with such a big dog is not for the unprepared. Those dogs gave me their greatest years and the combined experience they both granted me with their time here has prepared me to deal with any type of dog; regardless of shape or size and even personality type. I currently find myself with a ton of free time and I don't have any pets at this point in my life but have always missed the company of a cat or dog since I have grown up around animals for most of my life. I plan to care for a pet the same way I would perform any job or duty with the upmost of attention and care. Your pet would be cared for as if they were a human child. During walks I would watch our surroundings carefully to keep us both out of danger, of course water will be provided as well. I am fully prepared to tend to pets here at my home. I have hard wood floors so clean up would be no problem for me and there is a patch of grass in the back part of my apartment building.
