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!”

“Andrielle is great! She’s dependable and reliable, comes on time for Duke’s walks and always walks him at least 30 minutes, about a mile each day (or more!). I’m so glad I found her for Duke, I know he’s well taken care of and well exercised while I’m at work. And she takes the cutest pictures of him :) Thanks Andrielle!”

“Allison really saved me…I needed help last minute and I’m so lucky she was available! I could tell from the minute she met my Poppy that my girl would be in great hands. Knowing Poppy was going on long walks and getting updates and adorable pictures took a lot of stress off my shoulders while I was working.”

“Alexis is so good with Rosie. Today, Rosie cried and squealed as Alexis arrived, leaping over two steps to get to her faster. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does. Excellent communicator, great dog behavioralist, friendly and kind. Thank you, Alexis!”

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!

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: 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.

About: Hello; my name is Jennifer and I am a life-long pet owner and an experienced Rover sitter. I have been been taking care of dogs and cats in my home with excellent reviews and testimonials. I offering dog-walking, drop-in dog visits and dog sitting for cat friendly dogs. In regards to cats, I offer both sitting in my home and/or drop-in sitting. I am an active, avid walker, so I can do frequent and long-distance dog walking and/or hiking with your dog or dogs. I live in Emeryville and I work from home part-time. If you have a special-needs pet or have a special situation, I am happy to discuss a possible arrangement. I hope to hear from you! I work from home as a part-time writer with no set schedule. I can attend to the pets at will whether its a walk and a belly rub or playing with the cats with toys and the cat tree. I live in a large, fenced-in compound and walk both dogs and cats inside the area. Inside, I have a cat tree and large rooms for dogs and cats to play and hang out.

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.
