Dog Walking Montclair

“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”

“Great guy! Felt really confident having him walk my dog and my dog came back tuckered out and happy! Will be using him again.”

“Nicky took SUCH good care of our dog. We were nervous about leaving our pup but Nicky updated us very frequently and my anxious dog loved her. Nicky gave her so much love and it made us feel so good about being away from our pup knowing how good of hands she is in. My pup is a reactive dog and Nicky was able to handle her better than we even can. I’m so grateful to have had her take care of our pup. Couldn’t ask for better! :)”

“Elyse was amazing! Our normal dog walker bailed on us last minute, so we needed someone fast. Elyse went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable with her and had great communication with us. She is super sweet and our pitties love her!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.

“Michelle is fabulous with Cami. Cami has been really scared of strangers recently, and Michelle has done amazing trying to get cami to trust her. Highly recommend working with Michelle, especially if you have an angsty dog!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.

“Nati is awesome!”

About: I am a dog lover and lived with dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs on and off for the past 8 years including boarding, house-stays, and walks. I currently have pretty flexible schedule and can make my hours fit for you - if there is a time conflict I will make sure to inform you and propose another time (if applicable). I cannot currently board dogs in my home (my dog is going through cancer treatment), but I am happy to do house-stays or walks. I ensure pets have their boundaries respected and I will ask plenty of questions to understand your pet’s personality and potential reactivity.

About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, both caring for them as my own pets and doing paid dog-sitting. I have extensive experience with both small and large dogs. I have been in charge of bathing, walking, administering medication, and general playtime for a variety of pooches, and feel comfortable navigating dispositions ranging from quiet and timid to outgoing and rambunctious. I truly love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I am currently in between jobs, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care. Once a month, I am out of town Friday-Sunday, but otherwise I am open. I only plan to care for pets in clients' homes, not my own. I am very conscientious of safety and take every possible precaution in order to respect clients' homes and belongings, and of course ensure the safety of their pets.

“Elena was great with our little pup. She was on time, communicative, gave a detailed report, and sent tons of photos! Looking forward to having our boy play with her and Penny again ❤️”

About: I attended veterinary technician school at Carrington College and have 9 years of experience working with a wide variety of animals. I do this because I truly love it! I’m happy to take your babies on walks, down to the beach, and care for them as if they were my own during their time with me. I’m a part-time student and work from home, which means I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Whether it’s a midday walk, a trip to the beach, or just some cozy companionship, I love taking breaks throughout the day to care for furry friends. For cats, I know that the best way to earn their trust is to respect their space—and I’d be honored to be their work-from-home buddy (or, let’s be honest, their loyal servant). Whether your kitty wants playtime, lap time, or just someone to admire them from a respectful distance, I’m happy to oblige! I live in an apartment, so I can accommodate small to medium-sized dogs or multiple cats for boarding. I ensure dogs get plenty of walks and exercise throughout the day. For safety, I always use secure leashes on walks and closely supervise all outdoor time. While I don’t have a fenced yard, your pet will get lots of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable!

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

About: I love animals and have been around fur pets since I was a child. I have experience with big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and kittens. My previous neighbor used to foster kittens while I dog sat for my friends, family, landlords, neighbors, etc. Dogs and cats are my therapy and love some cuddles and jogs. I have my own 7 month old female puppy who absolutely loves all dogs. She’s shy towards people but dogs are her favorite. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m flexible and open to sitting, walking, runs, or just check-in’s. I’m typically busiest on Tuesdays and likely only available in the late afternoon. We love communication so I’m always happy to send updates and have experience with dogs who need extra attention and/or healing pets. For my puppies/kittens they’re learning so a little patience and attention to fostering their schedule/training is important. These animals are like my children so showing them the same love and care is important to me.

About: I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast. I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads. I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.

About: With over 15 years of experience in pet care, I provide safe, attentive, and consistent support for animals. I’m skilled in administering oral medication, monitoring health changes, and maintaining a calm environment. My priority is always the comfort and safety of every pet under my care. I have flexible hours and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My daily routine allows me to give full attention to each animal, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. Safety, trust & environment: My home provides a calm and secure environment for pets. I have a fenced balcony and a clean, safe indoor space where animals can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure they are cared for with attention and respect, just like members of my own family.

About: I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for both pets and the homes I care for. My approach is attentive and thoughtful—I pay close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that help animals feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. Experience-wise I have been a cat owner since I was a small child, have experience fostering litters of kittens, and currently have 2 adult Balinese of my I care for since they were 4 months old. I have experience caring for geckos (feeding live crickets!), hamsters, and bird care. I am also mom to doodle half-siblings, caring for them since they were puppies. I’m respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I practice the "leave things better than you found them" mantra by keeping spaces clean and organized, following instructions accurately, and communicating regularly as scheduled so owners feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. Reliability and consistency are important to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands. Above all, I truly enjoy building connections—with both pets and their people—and making sure everything runs smoothly so you can have peace of mind. Contact me to discuss your care needs! I'm currently working part-time which leaves me flexible to schedule care for your pets and home. I am also available to handle small projects or home tasks, run errands, and organize spaces as needed. Please ask me and we will discuss your needs. I am happy to schedule regular dog walks, play dates or overnight care in your home for your dogs. I am also available to schedule cat check-ins/playtime. My goal is for you to return to a home and/or pet better/happier than you left it.

About: I have grown up caring for dogs of all ages and sizes at different quantities! I’m not afraid of messes and love to give treats! I am currently a part time college student and work part time. I will be spending my free time catering to your babies when I’m not in class or studying :) I can make sure you’re fur baby is fed and comfortable! I’m capable of going for walks and bathing them! And I’m comfortable with cleaning up messes!

“Excellent service ! My pup came back super excited and tired out which is what I was expecting back, he did not potty for awhile which means he did all his business Through her walks, super excited that he found a new caring companion ! Can't wait to book with her again - I'm pretty sure he's more excited to see her than me at this point !!”
