About: I have two incredible dogs that make life enjoyable. I love them with all my heart and I want to spread that love to other beautiful animals. I have experience walking dogs as a kid, and have volunteered at a pit bull rescue. I’m currently working mostly full-time at a retail store, but my hours and days are flexible month to month. I just want to spend time with animals whenever I can. I will do whatever is needed to make your animal feel comfortable in my presence and will do whatever is necessary for their happiness and playfulness.

“Rebecca is great! She’s very patient and flexible with my two senior pups, and responds quickly to messages. A total godsend for a busy day.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life - they have often been my closest friends and chosen family. These days I'm a gentle bodywork professional in the El Cerrito hills, but with plenty of time throughout the day to do drop-in visits or walks. I'm newer to the East Bay, so I love exploring new neighborhoods on foot, as well as longer walks at Point Isabel, Albany Bulb, Tilden & Wildcat. As far as I'm concerned any walk is 100% better with a canine companion! I meet each animal with sensitivity and respect, giving them time to relate on their own terms. My calm presence often draws animals to me, and I'm grateful that so many find me a safe and trustworthy friend. I have raised, trained, and cared for numerous dogs and cats throughout my life, as well as a wide range of other animals. I've been a pet mama of several medium to large dogs, taking them through puppy training, their active teen years, and into their senior years where more physical support was needed. I was also a caretaker at a small zoo for 15+ years where I gained extensive experience with detailed feeding & care routines, positive reinforcement training, enrichment exercises, and medical care for a truly wide range of animal types (I have stories to tell if you want to hear them). I currently have two beautiful 7 year old cats that delight me every day. I only wish they wanted to come out on walks with me! I'll want to follow your instructions to ensure your pet's routine stays familiar for them. I'll also support them with play, walks, pets, lap time, or just hanging out together in silence if that's where they're at. I'm trained in various gentle touch techniques that help animals deeply relax and can help with arthritis and other pain. So I can offer these to your pet with your prior approval. My schedule is fairly flexible! I'm most available before 10am and after 4pm, but I can often find time for visits during the day as well. I provide drop-in visits with your pet in your home. We'll talk about how I can best support your pet during these visits. I'll make sure to carefully follow all instructions for entry to your home, tasks that may need to be completed, and leaving your home secure when the visit is over. I care for cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, birds, and may have experience with other more rare pets - ask me. For dog walks - I can either walk your dog around your neighborhood, or transport them to a pre-approved walk location. I'll want to discuss your normal walking routine, training cues, and rules for your dog to make sure I provide care that is consistent and supportive to them. I love walking dogs in neighborhoods with low traffic, at Point Isabel, and the Albany Bulb.

“Misty was terrific with our little Lucy! She walked her for 4 mid-day walks and was always on time and provided updates on the Rover card daily. I was unexpectedly sick for two days and she was super flexible about changing the reservation. Misty was super responsive via text and the app. We would use her services again and we highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a nurse practitioner and mom to 2 human babies and 1 furry baby. My beloved fur baby, Willow, is getting older and is slowing down. I would LOVE to have other fur buddies to go on walks or runs with, or just snuggle. I’ve used Rover for years and know first-hand how stressful it can be to leave a fur baby with someone else. I will treat your pets like my own and send lots of pictures so you know your pet is well cared for 🤗 I currently work full time it my clinic but have Thursdays off. I drop the kiddos off at school and then have the whole day to play outside with pups! I am a very responsible person who values clear communication and follow through. I will always send picture and text updates. I will always have my phone on and keep your pup leashed so they are safe.

About: I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds. I was a vet tech for 5+ years and a dog handler for 2+. I adore dogs with all my heart. I am available whenever is needed and I can make my schedule fit yours! I can drive to you, we can meet somewhere, I can take care for your pets at my place if needed! I have two dogs that are well trained. I am able to recall my pets when off leash. I do what is ask for the saftey of your pets. I am the person to give tons of kisses and cuddles to your pets and ensure exercise too!

“Elena was great with our dog. She was patient with him and very caring. He was a little shy meeting someone new and she took the time to make him feel comfortable and slowly get to know her.”

“Our puppy loves when Jaz comes to take him out for his walk! She is great with him and very attentive to his needs. I really love the pictures she sends and detailed summary of what they did on their walk together. Thanks, Jaz!”

“We had an amazing experience with Crystal! Crystal was a life saver when our family needed help with our super energetic dog, Pinky. She went above and beyond to take him out for long walks, took him to his favorite places, and was attentive to his needs at all times. She shared updates about her trips with him and insights from her experience, you could see the love and care in her eyes a mile away. Really nice person, responsible, and easy to work with, and most importantly, Pinky was head over heals in love with her! Thank you, Crystal!”
