“Shanley was great with both our dogs and even adjusted her schedule to take them on earlier walks when a heat wave came in the middle of our trip. We so appreciated her flexibility and her concern for our doggos’ well-being!”
“Irina is great. We set up a pre-meet with her and she was exactly on time and asked good questions about our dog. We departed early in the morning for our trip, and Irina was scheduled to come to the house at about 10 am to take him out for a walk. We were a bit nervous because it was our first time with Irina, but she arrived exactly on time for the dog walk. She checked-in afterward with us and sent a photo as well We think that Irina is excellent and strongly recommend her.”
“Valerie is wonderful to work with. She is prompt, reliable and truly loves animals. I felt completely comfortable with her walking our dogs. She asked many questions about them and took time observe their behavior and gave them yummy treats. Would definitely recommend Valerie!”
About: I’ve taken care of both of my dogs, Abbey and Daphne for 9 years, walking, feeding and bathing them. I’ve also looked after my neighbors and friends dogs during trips and have loved spending time and taking care of new dogs. I am currently home for college until the middle of September, but my schedule is completely open until then for all days and any time. I have two dogs at home, Abbey and Daphne, who I take care of everyday along with my family. I go out to take them on walks and hikes everyday during the morning and evening.
About: I've raised my current rescue dog from a puppy and trained her and raised her to be a gentle, loving, cuddly, dog. She's now 11 years old. I've also worked with Amanda at Animal Dog Rescue where I fostered dogs and arranged forever homes. My whole family is great with dogs, including my 18-year old twins who are happy to play with and walk your pet. I'm not an official trainer, but I've trained many dogs how to walk on a leash and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. We have a large house with a large backyard and we also have a kennel for overnight stays. I'm available for walks, doggy day care, overnight care, and more. I'm open for any questions you might have! I'm in my mid-50s and I'm ready for semi-retirement. I'm home all day, love to hike, and love dogs 🐕 I'm very dependable and responsible and will take great care of your pet. I have a fenced yard, a large-sized crate, and can give your pet full-time attention and care. I also have an elder dog who is very gentle and two older teenagers who also love dogs. When caring for your pet at your home, I can stop by multiple times during the day for potty breaks, meals, and play time.
“Whitney is extremely patient & professional. My dog is not an easy going pup he’s a bit of a grumpy old fuss pot. She communicates & asks for advice, I cannot stress enough how patient Whitney is. I felt she really tired to understand him & work with us. She is a great walker who goes above & beyond!!”
“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!”
About: I have had a dog for 7 years and I have also taken care of two of them in the neighborhood. Walking and sharing with them is a beautiful experience. I'm actually working part-time so, I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 10:00 am Taking care of a dog both inside and outside the home requires security, affection and constant responsibility, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are always covered.
About: Grew up loving all animals and naturally wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. Naturally I have taken care of every pet possible including neighbors and family friends who ever needed help! Simply love being around all animals and always want to help as much as possible! I am currently recovering from arm surgery(doesn’t impart my ability to take care of multiple animals just can’t do my restaurant job) so I have tons of time to help! I try to give my animals as much attention as possible and will give yours even more! Simply spending time with them brings me joy so you can know not only will your pets be in a safe environment but they’ll gain a new friend as well!
About: I was the main caretaker for my dog growing up and I have been trusted with many family and friends dogs. I apparently have a natural attraction for dogs as all of my friends dogs seem to love me almost like I am one of their owners. Currently home from college and have lots of spare time. I am very flexible. Would love to hang out with some nice doggos this summer. I will follow whatever rules you give me to ensure your dog is safe and I will give your dog so much play and attention (if desired) that they will fall asleep easy.
“Michael was amazing with our dogs. The dogs enjoyed being out and about trying to make new doggy friends. He was attentive to my doggy needs and I highly recommend using his services. It gives me piece of mind that on long work days there someone out there who cares for my dogs just as much.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my friends for years. I love playing with them and making sure they feel safe and loved. I have had a love for dogs since I was a small child. My cousins had a dog who I loved with all my heart. I would always love throwing tennis balls for him and giving him treats (maybe to many at times 😉). I will take good care of your dog and make sure they enjoy there time with me! I am very flexible with my schedule. Most days including weekend I will be available. I currently have no jobs or part time jobs at the moment. I have a very sizable backyard for your dog to run around and feel a sense of freedom. The backyard is fully enclosed, no pet can get out. I also have plenty of areas for a dog to sleep during the night.
“Helen was super friendly, communicative, and attentive. She took the time to get to know our dog and our preferences, and I felt so comfortable having her walk our pup. I would ask Helen to walk our dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”
About: Hi, I routinely run lake Merritt on the weekdays and weekends. Luna (the corgi) can not run as often as I do, therefore I’m looking to support another pup on regular 3+ mile runs. If you have a dog that needs to get some energy out reach out to me I usually work 9-5 M-F in San Fransisco or Oakland. Evenings after work tend to be the best time for me to get out and run I’ve lived with dogs and ran with dogs most my life. I’m also very understanding of the difficulty in trusting a stranger with a beloved pet. Please let me know how you’d prefer to do introductions.
“Amila was awesome with Sady. She took the initiative to come over and meet her before I went out of town which made me feel really comfortable! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
