“Our go to dog walker for when Milo needs one. My dog is always excited to see Joseph and Joseph communicates well despite his busy schedule as he is a popular dog walker.”
About: Because I treat every dog like family, your pup will feel safe and loved while you’re away. My experience with different breeds means I understand their unique personalities and needs. I can watch your dog most mornings until 2 PM. Saturdays work for me too. If you have special events, we can coordinate beforehand, no problem 😊 Your pet’s comfort is my priority—gentle, attentive care in the space they know and love. Bringing peace of mind with caring visits and familiar routines in your home and walking through your neighborhood.
“Wonderful! Christopher is communicative, reliable, and great with dogs! He has so helpful with my puppy’s occasional pulling on the leash and does a combo of running and walking when he’s out.”
About: I love animals and I would treat your pet like they are my own and comfort them by playing. Taking a walk. Petting them and Feeding them and cuddles. I will accommodate to each customer's needs for their pet. If you are working with your pet with tricks, I'm willing to help and offer that time with your pet to learn or keep training on a new trick with the same style the owner wishes. My time with your pet is for them and I'll spend my time responsibly. Ill be doing rover full time with a part time job. My priority would be with the care of someone's fur baby; I enjoy doing care I follow the guidlines the owner has written for me to ensure the pets safety and well being. Whatever the owner wishes for the pet i will listen
About: In my youth I would walk neighborhood dogs in order to make some extra money, and loved every minute of it. I love meeting new pets and seeing all the unique personalities they have. I do have a full time job but am able to drop in before or after work, and am completely free on weekends and holidays. I take my dog Daisy for regular walks, once in the morning, once when I get home in the afternoon, and once after dinner. I will provide the same love and care for your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have had cats growing up and they lived long healthy lives— almost 20 years old! They were my babies and slept with me every night. 6 years ago, my husband and I adopted Luke (bull terrier) and he is the sweetest most beautiful soul. He would never hurt a fly and has been an angel with our almost 3 year old son. Luke is apart of our family and has severe allergies that we take great care of. I promise to take just as much care of your babies as I do my own! I have a full time job, but am available most weekends. I get off work earlier than most so if need be we can schedule something during the work week! I’m pretty flexible :) I treat my pets like family because they are!! Your pet will be no different. If they need snuggles or treats, I’m your gal! I can also give them space if they need it and am happy to pick up their favorite toy and play with them. I love all dogs and cats, so yes, I will let your Great Dane sit in my lap!
“Gerald has been a great dog walker/new buddy for our young almost 2 year old pocket/micro pit "Biggie". Biggie has lots of energy and gets a little wild sometimes but Gerald handles him well. Gerald has been great with keeping us updated with fun pictures and texts of their outings. I would highly recommend Gerald to care for your baby.”
About: I love all types of animals! Over the years I've had goats, dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and more! I love dog sitting and me and my husband currently only have fish, chickens, and 2 outdoor cats. I espically love dogs, but since my childhood dog passed away in 2020 I havent had a dog. Any dogs who stay with us can expect to get walked daily and be showered with attention. I work professionally three days a week (normally mon, tues, wed), so I'm often able to spend alot of time with whoever is staying with us. I work part time Mon- Wed so having dogs stay with us is very nice and they are sure to recieve lots of love and attention. I have lots of expierence caring for my own pets, and other peoples pets. Pets in our home are walked regularly and very well cared for. We love to have animals around!
About: I am currently not accepting new clients for staying in your home. I will accept walks and drop ins if I’m available. Boarding in my home will be considered on a case by case basis as I have a dog and want to ensure they would get along first before accepting a dog for boarding, also depending on my work schedule for that week as I do work full time (some in person and some from home with a very variable schedule). I’ve owned dogs my whole life and provided pet care to friends and family over the last decade. In addition to being a dog and animal lover, my skills as a teacher and behavior analyst lend itself perfectly to caring for animals as well. I currently work full time for a school but am no longer teaching and have a flexible schedule as my role is not student facing so I do work from home at least one day a week, and often other times throughout as well. I recently moved to Martinez but commute to Pleasanton from Monday-Thursdays and am gone typically 6-8 hours at a time but this schedule varies. I typically work remote on Fridays. I will respect your home and space and follow all instructions carefully. I will be diligent with both monitoring your pet and taking care of them, and keeping an orderly home as a guest while house sitting. I am happy to help with any other house care while you are gone, as directed by you (checking mail, watering plants, taking trash cans in and out for trash day, etc). If staying in my home you can trust that safety is number one priority. I provide a comfortable yet enriching environment for my own dog and would do the same for your dog if staying with us!
“Natalie is awesome! My dog loved her and she took wonderful care of him while I was away. She’s always quick to reply and sends lots of pictures which I greatly appreciate 😊 I absolutely recommend her and plan to book more walks in the future! 😄”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. Puppies, middle age and the seniors. I have experience with all breeds and ages. I’ve worked with many dogs in the past and was lucky enough to have dogs in my house growing up. I already have a set schedule with my dogs. We walk twice a day. They are fed after the first morning walk and fed after the second walk in the evening. And of course playtime all day. I put my dogs first they’re my priority. I have a nice big fenced yard that is very shaded. I live downtown, walking distance to the marina and dog park. I do allow dogs in my bed and on the furniture. But I have lots of dog beds around the house if they that’s what they prefer!
About: Hi, my name is Sofia. Nice to meet you! <3 I have been a pet owner since I was born! I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have also fostered strays (from the smallest of kittens to the largest of dogs as seen in the photos!) and have secured them with safe homes. As of right now, I take care of my Siamese mix cat and Poodle mix dog at home. They are my prized possessions and adore all the love and care I give them. Currently, I am a full time college student. As of right now, I am available most days and times (early mornings, midday, and weekends). I can make exceptions based on your needs. 💖 (Not offering daycare or overnight services as of right now) I have a fully gated and fenced 2/3 of an acre yard. There is plenty of room for playtime for your pups! I also have two catios in my home, so your indoor cat is never without fresh air. All animals are allowed on beds and couches. We have 1 female dog and 1 female cat at home, but they are very friendly! I also have a guest room for overnight stays, so I will be sure to distance the animals at nighttime.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to my dog Honey and cat Zoey, I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I bring not only personal experience but also hands-on training from fostering animals and volunteering at our local animal shelter. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—each with their own personality, quirks, and needs. From energetic pups who need long walks to shy kitties who need patience and a gentle touch, I tailor my care to suit every pet. Whether you’re looking for daily check-ins or dog walks, I provide dependable, loving attention to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also experienced with administering medication and working with pets that need a little extra care or reassurance. Let’s connect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away My current job is only part time, and I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I am available almost every morning and afternoon. I provide fresh food and water at all times, clean litter boxes/ pick up dog poop and make sure to spend some time with each pet and provide enrichment activities.

Chelsea K.
“Chelsea loves all creatures, and that love is reflected in the quality of care she gives to each animal. Chelsea was around 9 or 10 years old when she began helping with my dog walking and boarding business. Helping to care for several dogs at a time, Chelsea became skilled at handling dogs on leash. Chelsea understands a dog needs time to sniff and enjoy the walk. Over time Chelsea became more aware which dogs needed more snuggles and which needed a stern voice. Chelsea also assisted in administering medication, and cleaning up the three Ps [pee, puke, & poo] without batting an eye. With over ten years of experience, I feel confident that Chelsea would offer your special family member the best care possible. Your pet couldn't be in better hands!”
Sofia M.
“Sofia is very experienced, flexible, and very loving to animals. She goes over and beyond taking care of animals, tending to their needs by whatever means necessary. In addition, Sofia is a great communicator between others and that shows how reliable she is. Sofia takes care of my cat who isn’t used to other people, except for me. However, as soon as she met Sofia she instantly loved her and followed her everywhere. My cat continues to be perfectly taken care of. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Sofia is an excellent pet sitter to any family that chooses her to watch over their pet.”
Heather C.
“Heather Carter is a very responsible and compassionate pet owner and care taker. She has worked in the animal care business at a major pet supply company where she was mostly in care of the animals. She has a knack for relieving anxiety in dogs and cats with her caring touch. Heather has taken care of our family dog for several years and we could not be happier with the service she provides. She has her own pet friendly car and is always very punctual for her clients. I would recommend Heather to anybody that is looking for a caring compassionate dog walker or care giver. She is very trustworthy and honest and you will not be disappointed.”
