Dog Walking In Ivy Hill

“Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!”

Rosie S.

“Esteban is wonderful! Our dog Luna took to them right away, and it's clear they genuinely care about the animals in their care. I also really enjoyed getting to chat with Esteban—they're warm, friendly, and easy to talk to :)”

“Elise did a great job walking my Great Dane mix. She was very energetic and positive, and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”

Jennifer B.

“Ananda has been walking our dog for a few weeks now and has been reliable and communicative all along. Our dog is an anxious guy who takes a while to warm up to new people and Amanda has been very patient with him.”

Emily D.

“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

“We've been hiring Amiri for years to walk our 90lb bulldog. Our dog has some territorial issues and he worked with us to train him, and now we hire Amiri every time we travel. He's always responsive and on time. Highly recommend!”

Rebecca B.

“Thanks for walking Paco!”

About: I have taken care of cats and kittens my whole life with growing up with them in my home and adopting them as an adult. I have now raised and trained a puppy from 8weeks old on. I have taken care of up to 3 medium sized dogs at a time. I have also housed and cared for bunnies and rabbits. Experience with grooming as well- trimming kitty nails and washing dogs. There are currently zero scheduling conflicts in my day-to-day, and I can provide twice daily walks and undivided attention at any time for your pet! I love to be with animals in the place they feel most safe and loved-in their home! With access to all their cozy blankets and favorite toys, I love to provide playtime and nice long walks to keep your sweet pet happy. This not only provides exercise but mental stimulation as well. I feel sad to see pets who have to sit at home looking out the window waiting for their person to come home. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding them twice a day, it’s being their company too.

“Was so glad it ended up being you that walked our Sam! Love the fact that you've walked him before with Wag and hope we get you to walk him again! He seemed so satisfied when we got home last night and usually he is bouncing off the walls trying to go pee, but he was just excited to see us last night instead. That tells us you walked him well!! Thanks Adam!”

“My 80 lb American Staffy Mix adored Todd - and Todd was 100% considerate, knowledgeable, and confident with understanding how to interact and read dogs - which I adored! If you need someone to help with your pup - look no further than Todd. ?”

“Friendly, flexible, and wonderful with our husky. Thanks Barbara!”

“Charlii was great and asked multiple questions to get to know our dogs before proceeding with the walk. We’d definitely work with Charlii again!”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, and currently have 2 kitties at home. I love getting to know each animal, and experiencing the cuddles and love each have to give. One of my favorite times of day is playtime- I feel like they always come alive and it’s so fun to be a part of. I have also done a lot of overnight cat/ house sitting as well! I’m currently working part-time and have a few other side gigs, so this works into my routine perfectly! I love the flexibility of pet sitting. I know that some animals especially cats are more sensitive than others, and I like to give them plenty of grace and space to get to know me and become comfortable with me. I know animals are all unique with their personalities and limits and I always try to respect what they show me they are okay with. I am comfy with daily visits and also overnight stays.

“Thank you!!”

“Jennifer was lovely, attentive, and a great communicator. We just adopted our dog and he has little bursts of aggression and Jennifer was kind enough to come by before their first walk to test the waters. Everything turned out great and Jennifer sent updates and pictures throughout his walks. We will definitely work with her again.”

About: Hi there! I'm Karly, a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I spent about four years as a dedicated dog walker in Southern California, building a loyal community of pups (and their humans) who kept coming back because they knew their babies were genuinely loved and well looked after. These days I'm based in Oakland, and I'm so excited to bring that same energy to your dog. Over the years I've lived with dogs of all shapes, personalities, and breeds from big goofy pitbulls to spirited blue heelers, so I'm comfortable with the whole spectrum. I'm also experienced with oral medications and the extra patience and care that special-needs or picky pets require. Your dog's routine matters to me, and I'll always do my best to honor it. One thing I hear a lot: shy or anxious dogs tend to warm up to me pretty quickly. I think it's because I let them set the pace, just patience and a calm presence until they feel safe. It's honestly one of my favorite things to witness. At home I share my space with my sweet one-eyed black cat Lady, so I'm used to a house that revolves around an animal's needs. I'm very flexible with scheduling and availability, especially through the summer, so please don't hesitate to reach out even if your timing is a little unconventional. I would love to meet your pup! 🐾 Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my life — it's genuinely central to it. I currently work part time in the nightlife industry, which means my days are largely free and my schedule is wonderfully flexible. The other half of my time is already dedicated to pet sitting, so caring for animals is quite literally built into my weekly rhythm. Because I'm not locked into a traditional 9-to-5, I have real availability during the hours that matter most: mornings, afternoons, and daytime check-ins when most pet parents are at work. I'm rarely in a rush, and I think animals can feel that. If something comes up last minute or you need a little extra flexibility, I'm almost always able to make it work. When I'm caring for your dog/cat in your home, my number one priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and like their normal routine hasn't been disrupted. I follow your feeding schedule and system exactly, and always make sure fresh water is available throughout the day. Beyond the basics, I make sure your pup is getting plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while you're away. Whether that's belly rubs on the couch, a good play session, or just calm company for a dog who doesn't love being alone. You'll never have to wonder if your dog is just sitting in a corner somewhere. They're loved on.

“Teresa was really nice to accept the job of walking my dog on very short notice. She is great, communicative, and trustworthy and my dog loved her when he met her!”

About: Years of experience with animals ranging from horses, goats, cattle, pigs, birds, turtles, cats, and (of course) dogs. I am very comfortable around all shapes and sizes and have some experience with animals with special needs and behavioral issues. If you are seeking help with a more challenging pet while youre gone, don't hesitate to reach out! I would love to meet your furry friend and see if I would be a good fit for you care needs! My schedule varies, but it is highly flexible! With advanced notice I am able to work around most dates/ times to better fit your pet care needs I have two dogs of my own in a second floor 1 bed apartment with a large patio space. My neighborhood is quiet (perfect for walking furry friends), and there is a park nearby. I have two dogs in my home, a blind Chocoalate lab named Tramp, and a small cocker spaniel mix naamed Juliet. Both pups are crate trained, threshold trained, etc.

“Cynthia has been walking our dog, Pip, for the last six weeks while I recover from a foot injury and we really appreciate her. Our dog, Pip, was nervous about walking with a stranger but Cynthia was very flexible in figuring out how to make it more comfortable for Pip. Cynthia is quick to respond and shows up reliably. We really appreciate her help.”

About: Hello! My name is Jason, and I love dogs! My wife and I are both self employed and therefore home for most of most days, so your dog would very rarely be left alone. When that is the case though, our extremely friendly female dog Ripley is great company! Exercise is a priority around here! I live super close to the lake and we definitely take advantage of that on a regular basis. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of tennis balls! While I love puppies, (who doesn't?) I also have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, and am well versed in administering meds if necessary. I've also worked as an EMT and believe in high standards of care, but mostly in having fun. I recently reinstated my account which is why i do not have a recent review, but nothing has changed since last time! I would love to hangout for your dog(s) anytime! We are self employed and home most of the time, so it's generally easy to give as many potty breaks or attention that your baby may need whenever! Hugs, treats, toys, tug, fetch, cuddles and general attentive care catered to each individual dog- we're all different afterall For your peace of mind we will obviously provide regular photos and updates!
