Dog Walkers in Lafayette, CA

“We hired Valerie to walk our dog Hank twice a day while he stayed at my mom’s during our vacation, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she was incredibly thorough with planning. Valerie asked all the right questions and clearly came prepared knowing exactly how to handle him. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes real pride in her work. Hank was happy, well-exercised, and in great hands the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Valerie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker!”

“Allison is a great dog walker. We have a 75 lb, 1.5 year old German Shepherd who needs a lot of patience and persistence to work with, as well as more positive socializing experiences. She has walked him 4 times now, helping him ease into being with a new person without us and reinforcing his training. She’s very patient with him at the start of walks (the hardest part). She also always sends great reports of how he did after and takes adorable photos, which we appreciate. She is a great listener and was patient with us as well, and the overall process of getting our dog comfortable and reducing stress. We trust her with our dog to do a great job walking him, which is huge! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Andy is a lifesaver! She stepped up in a moments notice when our Stella's needs changes. Stella was very well cared for and we got updated photos all the time. You'd be very lucky to use Andy. I know we will be again, often, in the future.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need! I am a very interactive and engaged pet sitter who believes pets are more than just animals, they’re cherished members of the family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.

About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!

“Vicki is thorough, responsive, flexible and trustworthy. So happy and lucky we found her for our senior dog- we will be using Vicki regularly!”

About: My golden retriever Bearon lived to be 15.5 years old. He’s large dog, sweet, trustworthy and funny. My Grandmother lived to be 105 always had a dog. Our family takes care animals like they just as important as humans. My availability is asap. Special skills would be to treat your animal like you prefer and make them feel at home. Key factors such as trust, safety and communication. These essential skills are very important to make sure the animal is alright and in good hands. Dogs emulate their owners and how you treat them makes all the difference in the world. Overall dog backwards is god so with that said it’s great meaning and represents a biblical term. Thank god for dogs on our planet I plan my day around my dog. I love to have a routine. That way the dog knows what to expect. For instance food and drink at the same hour. I treat other dogs like my own. We can go inside or outside. I’m very flexible to completely understand them. I think gods are sensitive.

“Showed up short notice, took my babydog out first visit, n everything went great! We set up a bunch of other visits. She showed up this morning for his walk, locked everything up appropriately afterwards, n sent pics on both visits. My babydog seems super pleased, as are we! We’re excited for more visits ?”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends dogs for decades. I’m extra fond of those medium- big dogs & especially old dogs! Let me brighten your dogs day with a visit while your away. I’m now a semi-retired scientist, spending my time between art making & dog walking/sitting. I have nothing but time to spend with your special friend. At this time I do not offer any dog sitting in my home. I do hope to offer this service in the near future however.

About: We adore animals of all kinds. We have hardwood floors for accidents, and filtered water. We have a fenced yard for running around with our kids and potty, always allow indoor access, and we don’t leave your pet alone. James has volunteered at the Dog Shelter for years, has CPR/Rescue training(for humans) and an understanding of CPR and first aid for dogs. After many years of dog sitting, we've welcomed a variety of different dogs (around 50+ at last count) into our home. We have administered eye creams, injections, and many other medicines. We don't clip nails. We are happy to send pictures and videos and even facetime or video chat by request. James works from home, and we typically go for two walks a day so we are always happy to have a guest pet with us. We have thoughtfully organized our home to avoid dangerous substances, escape issues, and to ensure maximum joy and safety! We would love to give you a tour during a meet and greet.

“Brandi did a great job walking Teddy each day and sending updates with pictures. Teddy clearly enjoyed his walks and the care Brandi gave him, including food and treats. Thank you!”

About: I grew up in a home full of animals — usually three dogs and a cat (or more) at any given time — and my family often fostered rescues. Over the years I’ve also volunteered at multiple animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m experienced with the day-to-day essentials like feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning and giving basic medications. Above all, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love what I do — keeping pets happy, calm, and cared for while their people are away. I currently have open availability and am hoping to meet some new best friends. I really look forward to meeting you and your fur family. I follow your guidelines in addition to my knowledge of safety from 20+ years of pet ownership and care experience. I am keen on observation and communication to ensure everyone is comfortable during your time away.
