Dog Walking Piedmont

“Shanley did such a great job with my dog, Alfie! Alfie can be nervous and shy around strangers when I’m not around and Shanley was very patient with him and took great care of him!”

“Thank you so much Jennifer! 5 stars! I am an anxious dog mom to a very anxious doodle, and it’s very hard for me to find people that I feel comfortable leaving my little fur baby with. But from the moment I started communicating with Jennifer through Rover, my anxieties were eased! Jennifer is kind, warm, and a very clear communicator! She was very gracious and non-judgmental too as I over explained and neurotically walked through Ruffles’ preferences and routines! I felt so at ease at work knowing she was taking care of my baby and didn’t even think twice! And her updates and pictures were always great and informative. It’s funny too how you just know when your dog likes someone, and I could tell he really felt comfortable with her! Can’t wait to book again for dog walking.”

“Lynn was a super reliable dog walker again for my pup! I really appreciated her communication and understanding when I had to cancel an additional walk to take my dog to the vet.”

“Danielle really cares about the dogs and is an excellent communicator, she shows up on time and is so kind!”

About: I love dogs. Plain and simple. Nothing makes me happier or puts a bigger smile on my face than seeing a dog strut down the sidewalk, living its best life, or just stretched out somewhere soaking up the sun. I’ve had the honor of being a dog dad to three pups over the years, and I miss having one around. I’m currently dog-childless, and after recently retiring from a job I had for 32 years, I’ve got a little more time on my hands and, honestly, I’m craving some much-needed dog time. I’m not quite in a position to bring another dog into our family right now, so I figured this might be the next best thing. I’d love to spend some of that time giving your dog some love, getting them out for a good walk, letting them get some exercise, and just hanging out with them. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. They make me happy, and I think they can tell when somebody really likes them. So I’d love nothing more than to meet your pup, get to know their personality, and make a new four-legged friend. I’ll give them plenty of attention, take good care of them, and probably talk to them like they’re a person. Because, well… they are. At least in my book. I’m retired, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule these days. I’m available Monday through Thursday from 8am–6pm, and honestly, I can’t think of a better way to spend some of that time than getting outside and hanging out with a dog. I like getting some steps in, getting some fresh air, and having a dog along makes all of that a lot more fun. So pet care fits pretty naturally into my week. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and give them some attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re busy. Since I’m offering dog walks, most of my time with your pup will be out getting some fresh air, stepping out on the town, and having a good time. I’ll come to your home, get your pup ready to go, and we’ll head out for a good walk. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave for me, but mostly I’ll just pay attention to your dog and let them be themselves. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff every five feet, and some just want a little extra attention along the way. I’m good with all of it. And when I say I’ll treat your dog like my own, I mean it. My dogs were family, and they were treated like royalty with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, and affection. Basically, I want your dog to have a great time, feel safe and loved, and be thinking, “When is this guy coming back?”

“Shelly was super reliable and sweet to my dog Mazzy! Would def hire again!”

About: Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with two pitbulls from puppyhood to old age, and I currently have a 10 year old chihuahua mix. I worked full time in animal care for 3 years. I'm currently an in-home healthcare provider for children with special needs, so I am very familiar with the power of kindness, patience, and play for animals and people alike. I typically start my workday around 2 pm, yet I have trouble sleeping in and will be out walking my dog around 7 am. My free time in the mornings allows for walks, training, and snuggles to be part of my daily routine. I am someone who likes having structure to follow and will respect procedures and expectations. Personally, my dog is crate trained and he will make sure that I tuck him in at the correct time every night, and I make sure he doesn't go places where he isn't allowed.

“Laura is an amazing dog walker. She connected with both our dogs effortlessly and made sure that they both got what they needed from her time with them, despite the difference in their ages and physical health. She is also a fantastic photographer and great communicator - I looked forward to her updates each day :) She is now our go-to for all doggie exercise needs!!”

“Adam is the best! Super responsive and great with providing status updates and pics. Will absolutely book him again for any dog walking needs!”

About: I’m the devoted doggie aunt to some pretty fantastic pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Walks aren’t something I rush through—I’m happy to let your dog sniff, explore, get some exercise and enjoy being outside. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable following your dog’s particular routine, whether that means a brisk walk, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, playtime or just some extra company and affection. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—even though I’m still waiting for one of my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits and walks, including daytime hours when many people are at work. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and give them the time and attention they’re accustomed to. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and access to your home—is a big deal. I’m mature, dependable, communicative and respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow instructions carefully, pay attention to changes in behavior, and know how to stay calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness and affection.

“Esteban is awesome! He takes good care of Sunny, my terrier puppy. And sends me lots of detailed updates and wonderful photos. Sunny seems very relaxed and happy after walks/hangs with Esteban. Thank you so very much for all that you do!”

About: I've always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I know every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they're comfortable and cared for the way they're used to. I work from home three times a week which gives me more time to care for pups. This is something that allows me more flexibility with care needs. I do not have any other pets in the home which allows your pet to have all my attention, therefore meeting whatever need they may have.

About: Drawing from a lifetime shared with dogs, my unique journey includes raising a beloved Maltese named Bubbles. From puppyhood through her senior years, attending obedience classes together, and becoming a trusted caregiver for friends' and family's dogs, ranging from Rottweilers to Dachshunds. My approach is deeply influenced by emphasizing attentiveness, understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. I ensure their safety and happiness by being in tune with their requirements, whether it's through engaging hikes, soothing walks, or simply enjoying their company and cuddles. My adaptability is grounded in respect, patience, and kindness, promising a loving and secure environment for your cherished loved one. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, especially now as I'm in a transition period looking for a new job, allowing me to prioritize the needs of the pets I care for. Currently, without other major commitments or a fixed schedule, I'm able to offer a highly flexible and responsive care environment, ensuring that I can accommodate both routine care and any unexpected needs or emergencies that may arise. In my care, your pet will enjoy a safe and loving environment with access to my secure backyard and leisurely walks to the nearby park. I personalize feeding and exercise routines to suit each pet’s needs, meticulously manage any medication or special health requirements, and employ positive reinforcement to nurture a happy, well-behaved companion. My home is a haven of comfort and safety for your pet, and I ensure open, responsive communication with you, providing peace of mind with regular updates. In emergencies, I adhere to your preferred protocols, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. Your pet's happiness and safety are my heartfelt commitment.

“Christine was great with our dog and cat. She was reliable, patient and a good communicator. We will definitely have her look after our fur babies again!”

“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”

About: I've been taking care of pups and kitties since I was about 8 yrs old! I've learned how to identify triggers and/or warning signs with this experience. Hello ☺️ I just moved to the Bay Area and I'm a pawrent to one pup and two kitties! I just got my degree in Video Production/Film and will be freelancing when I can, which means my schedule is very open!! My current availability for drop-in visits and pup walking is Monday- Sunday 6am-10pm, unless it's a blocked out date. I would prefer to have a meet & greet before any booking. This helps me understand how to properly care for each pet. I always want to make sure that each furry friend, fur parent, and myself feels comfortable before hand. Whenever I drop in to visit, I make sure to do what ever is asked in regards to caring for your furry babies! Potty breaks. Making sure they are fed. Cuddle sessions! And of course making sure that I leave everything how it was before I arrived.

“Maya was great. She communicated well and we will not hesitate to use her services again.”

About: I love providing care that feels personal and full of joy. Animals have always been part of my life, and after years of experience, over 90 bookings and counting; I’ve learned that connection matters most. My goal is to engage and exhaust, because happy dogs are tired dogs. Every visit is about building trust and comfort. When families choose to rebook, it’s more than a service; it’s a relationship built on love, reliability, and understanding. Dogs become part of my daily routine rather than being placed into a kennel environment. My day is structured around consistency, exercise, and calm downtime, which helps many dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Because I work from home and with a limited number of dogs I'm able to pay close attention to each dog's needs. High energy dogs receive appropriate exercise and engagement, while more relaxed dogs are given the space and quiet they prefer. My goal is simple: when you pick up your dog, I want the dog to seem like they had a great vacation of their own.
