Dog Walking Irvington

About: I love all animals! I have two Persian cats myself named Tofu and Honey, and prior to my current cats I had another cat for several years. I have lots of experience taking care of cats since I have owned 3 total. Additionally, I had a dog growing up as well prior to owning cats so I have experience with dogs too. I love pets so much and meeting new furry friends! I’d love to drop in to feed your pets or walk your dog. I’m currently working part time, so on the select days in my availability I have free time in my schedule. On those specific days I have time to drop in and play with/feed your pets or walk your dog. In my own household, I ensure my cats are safe and happy in many different ways. I make sure that there isn’t any random food, scraps, or hairballs lying around by vacuuming a lot, since those can cause upset stomachs. I also make sure my cats eat a balanced diet. I clean my cats eyes and brush their fur daily (since my cats are long haired). I also brush their teeth and clean their ears at least once a week to maintain hygiene. I also make sure they have scratchers everywhere so they don’t claw my things and that they have something to scratch. I try to play with my cats at least once a day with toys but since my cats are adults they like to sleep more often. I give treats here and there after grooming time. In terms of safety or danger precautions I treat my home as if there are babies and I need to make sure everything is in order to prevent accidents.

“Five stars for Diana! She took wonderful care of Deedee on their walk. Deedee can sometimes be a handful, but Diana handled everything effortlessly and kept me updated. Deedee came home happy and tired out. Thank you, Diana!! I recommend Diana to anyone who is looking for a kind and friendly dog walker in the neighborhood :)”

“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic pet sitter!! have been on the hunt for someone who can handle and feel comfortable with our reactive boy. He’s a total lovebug inside, but outside gets triggered by other animals. Lexa was great with him and put my anxiety at ease. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve always had my own pets including dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs and fish. I’m experienced with house sitting and dog walking for dogs through out my teen and college years. I took a break post college while working at a shelter for women and children and then attorney represented bodily injury claims. I recently resigned my corporate insurance job and have been pursuing my stained glass small business and my passion for animals. I've been volunteering at the shelter as dog walker and started riding horses again. I'm available currently every day of the week and weekends. I live very close to the Fremont Hub. I can feed, walk, brush, love, and provide any special cares for your fur babies! I don’t mind just hanging out with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. I'm currently self-employed as an artist and am available any day of the week and weekends and can be available as well on shore notice! I have a fenced in patio and catio for our 4 cats. They are primarily indoors and go outside supervised. In your own home, I will ensure your pet remains safe and indoors. If you have an indoor pet only, they will remain inside at all times. I will treat your pet as if they're my own pet with love and above and beyond care to ensure they feel safe and trust me.

“Jessica is the type of person you want to care for your furry friends. She is nice, compassionate and attentive to my dogs needs. Jessica has experience working with senior dogs and is very patient with my 15 year old pup. I am so grateful Rover helped me find her. Book Jessica!”

“Katie is always punctual and wonderful with my little Cosmo! She sends photos and is always great with him! He is always so excited when she shows up!”

“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up with a small family dog and now have a cat! I love animals and would love to offer my services to anyone who needs a trustworthy pet-sitter. I am currently only working part time and free on the weekends, so your pets can get undivided attention throughout their stay/walk. Their needs will be a priority. I make sure to pay close attention to your pets as I know I would want the same for my own. As my reviews say, I’m trustworthy.

“Justin was great with my dog Conny! He also was good about communicating with me about timing. I'd definitely recommend Justin and will be booking him in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 6. I love every minutes spent with them. I guess that something written in gene. I am currently studying at home all day long. I do have two small kids but they both go to school at daytime. They both love animals like me do. I have a medium-sized lab and a chihuahua. Both of them are neutered and super friendly to other dogs. They are always expecting new friends to visit them.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Over the years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends and family, gaining experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I look forward to giving your dog the same care, attention, and love I give my own! I spend most of my weekends at home with my own dog, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I love spending my weekends taking him on walks, playing with him, and working on training. He also loves playing with other dogs, so I think he’d be excited to have a new friend around! I’d be happy to welcome another pet into our routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I have a fenced front and back yard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air, as well as a doggy door for easy access. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves having other dogs around, so your pup can have a companion during their stay! I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while keeping them comfortable in their routine.

About: Hi, I’m Jasmine — a dedicated dog walker and sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I share my home with three standard poodles, all agility- and obedience- trained, and I’ve fostered and rehabilitated countless rescued “oodles of poodles.” My background includes whelping litters, supporting dogs in distress, and providing structured, confidence-building care for nervous or high-energy pups. I hold a Fear Free Shelter Certificate of Completion and I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Whether you’re traveling for work or taking a much-needed vacation, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. With three standard poodles, pet care is already part of my everyday routine. I plan dedicated blocks for walks, drop ins and dogs who needs extra care. I provide calm, consistent, and safety-focused care whether a dog is in my home or theirs. I monitor behavior closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and use Fear Free handling to reduce stress.

About: We have shared our home with dogs and cats for over 30 years. For more than two decades, we've served as a foster home for Furry Friends Rescue, caring for dogs and cats of every age, breed, temperament, and medical need while they waited for their forever homes. That kind of fostering means we've handled it all: bottle-feeding newborn kittens, house-training anxious rescue puppies, managing senior pets with arthritis or special diets, and giving extra patience to animals recovering from neglect or trauma. We know how to read an animal's body language, spot early signs something's wrong, and adjust our approach to fit each pet's personality rather than expecting them to adjust to us. We no longer have pets of our own, which means your pet gets our full attention, energy, and home, without competing with a resident dog or cat for space or affection. Our house is calm, comfortable, and set up for animals to feel safe. We do still have foster cats that are friendly with other animals. Whether your pet needs a quiet, structured routine, extra TLC, or just an experienced hand who won't be fazed by anything, we've likely already seen it and handled it with care. Pet care isn't squeezed into our schedule, it is our schedule. Both of us are home full-time, with no kids and no pets of our own, so your dog(s) or cat(s) gets our undivided attention rather than fitting in around a job or a household routine. With two of us in the home, we can cover any schedule your animal needs, whether that's specific feeding times, medication a few times a day, or simply consistent company and playtime throughout the day. If one of us needs to step out, the other is always here, so your cat is never left alone for long. We're also equipped for whatever the situation calls for. We have crates and carriers on hand, and a large SUV if transport is ever needed, whether that's a vet visit, a pickup or drop-off, or anything else that comes up. Because we no longer have pets of our own, your cat isn't sharing our time, space, or attention with a resident animal. Our days are genuinely built around being available and present, which is exactly the kind of routine that comes from over 20 years of fostering. We own our home, which includes a large fenced yard and patio, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore outside. We have no neighboring animals, so there are no surprise fence-line encounters or added stress from unfamiliar pets nearby. For dogs, we get outside for walks every day, rain or shine, so your pet stays on their normal exercise routine even while away from home. Indoors, pets have the run of a calm, comfortable home rather than being confined to one room. We tailor our approach to each animal's personality, whether that means a structured routine, extra quiet time, or simply consistent companionship throughout the day. For longer stays we can send pictures too. We have an established relationship with our own veterinarian and are comfortable handling special needs animals, including pets on medication schedules, seniors with mobility or dietary needs, or animals recovering from illness or injury. This comes directly from over 20 years of fostering through Furry Friends Rescue, where we regularly cared for animals with medical or behavioral needs that required extra attention and consistency. Whatever the service, boarding, drop-in visits, or house sitting, your pet gets a safe, secure environment, plenty of space, and two experienced caregivers who know how to watch for and respond to their individual needs.

About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.

About: Loving & Experienced Dog Care in a One-Dog-Only Home I grew up in a dog-loving home where we took in stray dogs and gave them the love and care they deserved. Over the years, I’ve cared for more than 10 dogs—puppies, seniors, and even sick dogs—so I understand the unique needs of dogs at every life stage. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they eat well, get plenty of exercise, rest comfortably, and feel safe and happy. Here’s what your pup can expect in my care: 🐾 Meals – I’ll follow your feeding instructions with the food you provide. 🐾 Play & Walks – Outdoor time every 4 hours to stretch, sniff, and enjoy the fresh air. 🐾 Cozy Sleep – A clean, comfy dog bed just for them. 🐾 Updates – I’ll send real-time photos and videos, so you can check in anytime. 🐾 Special Needs – Whether it’s medication, a special diet, or extra playtime, I’m happy to accommodate. To give every dog the best care and attention, I only host one dog at a time. Your pup will get all the love and care they deserve in a safe and stress-free environment. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend—feel free to reach out with any questions! I spend most of my weekdays at home reading and taking online courses, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. Your pup will have my full attention, ensuring they get the love, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. On weekends, my almost two-year-old daughter is home, and my husband and I love taking her out to burn off some energy. Your dog will be part of our little family adventures, just like a second baby to us! We usually visit different parks, giving them plenty of fresh air, exercise, and new experiences. Daily Schedule for Your Pup if Boarding ⏰ Morning: Wake-up, potty break, and breakfast 🐾 Mid-Morning: Playtime, walk, or outdoor break 🛏 Noon: Relaxing time or nap in a cozy space 🐕 Afternoon: Another outdoor break and playtime 🍽 Evening: Dinner followed by a short walk/outdoor break in backyard 🌙 Night: Wind-down time and final potty break before bed Let me know if your pup has a specific schedule or needs! I live in a 2B2B house with a fenced backyard. The fence height is confirmed to be tall enough to prevent dogs from jumping out. Dogs are welcome in every space of the house. There is air conditioning in the summer, heating in the winter, an air purifier indoors, and I provide filtered water for dogs to drink.

“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care Siqin provided for my dog! She went above and beyond, ensuring my dog received plenty of playtime, healthy meals, and lots of affection. I was regularly updated with adorable photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for my puppy truly stand out. I highly recommend Siqin to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
