Pet Sitting Pleasant Hill

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Jenesys was great at caring for Dusty while we were away. She sent us cute check in messages and was easy to communicate with! Would definitely have her again!!”

About: We’re huge animal lovers and have cared for pets for most of our lives. My wife has been a veterinary technician for the past 7 years, so we’re comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets and those with special needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or a laid back senior, we’ll give them plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away, just like they’re part of our own family. 🐾❤️ My wife and I have flexible work schedules, allowing us to tailor our days around your pet’s needs and provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. We care for every pet like they’re our own. We will make sure to provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Welcome to our profile! We are Des and Treo Bell! When it comes to pet care, our combined efforts are unmatched. Des has been raising stray cats for 14 years. Treo has been working at a pet care facility for 12. Together they have adopted two dogs, a cat and a bunny, with many more to come! We know a lot of pets require 24 hour care but some pet sitters might not be unable to give that due to schedule conflict. A problem we have taken care of by offering our 2 for 1 pet sitter special! We have lots of experience with different kinds of animals and temperaments. From chickens to lizards, we have got you covered! We also have lots of experience with young pups, senior dogs, giving medications and other varying special needs! * We understand how important and stressful it can be finding the perfect person for your pet care needs and we want to support you however we can. With that being said, we ask that you please disclose prior to meeting if you have already booked with or are seriously considering another party. We gladly provide services for a large area of the bay, so physical meet and greets come at some expense to us. We’re very grateful for your understanding! Treo is an ASL interpreter for K-12 students, so she works during the day. Des is a security guard during the evening and an accounting student. Des takes care of the pets in the day time; morning walk, breakfast, a bit of playtime. Treo is home for the evening routine; dinner, walk and lots of attention. While we don’t offer sitting in our home, we don’t let that stop us from providing the best care in yours. We make sure to respect the space and leave everything exactly as we found it.

“Halona is amazing! On very short notice, she came by our home to do a meet & greet with our 4-month old puppy who is a pretty timid rescue pup. She asked all the right questions about our home and our pup, some I had not even thought of myself! Knowing I can rely on her to drop in mid-day for playtime with my pup is such a relief. She was right on time, sent many amazing photos, helped tire him out, feed him, and dry him off from the wet grass, etc. Gave me a full report of his behavior and activities while she was there! Halona is a trustworthy, reliable, and loving puppy friend!”

About: I have had dogs since I can remember and raised a puppy when I was a teenager. I house sit and watch my family and friends dogs often. I have a cat of my own and love her to pieces. I've administered insulin shots to my parents elderly dog and have even taken him to vet visits. I love all animals no matter what shape or size or species. I know leaving your family member in the hands of a stranger can be stressful and I try to make that experience as stress free as possible. I am overly communicative and extremely cautious with your animals! Lots of pics and updates included! I would love to help you with yours! I am currently very flexible and would love to gain long term clients with regularly scheduled daily walks and then move to overnight visits once trust is established and I get to know your animal more! I would not be able to take any pets into my own home. I am happy to walk even your run pups or do mid day check ins for cats or more!

“Shirley was very considerate of our requests. She was great with our dog, playing with him and bringing him treats. We would definitely use her again.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs. I own and participate in IGP sport (Schutzhund). I provide calm and reliable care. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and for every owner to have complete peace of mind. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I have three dogs, so I’m very comfortable with consistent schedules, feeding, exercise, training, enrichment, and keeping a clean and organized environment. I prioritize their physical and mental well-being every day, with dedicated time for walks, training, play, and individual attention. I also have experience caring for other dogs through my home-based boarding business, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and care needs while maintaining a safe, structured environment. I provide a safe, structured, and individualized approach to pet care. In my home, I keep dogs separated from my own pets as needed, follow their normal feeding and medication routines, and provide regular potty breaks, walks, play, and one-on-one attention. I do not use unsupervised group play. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their instructions closely and maintain their usual routine as much as possible. I’m attentive to behavior, comfort, safety, and any changes in appetite, energy, or bathroom habits, and I communicate with the owner throughout the stay so they know how their pet is doing.

“Colleen does an excepot job, takes care of my pups bowls, toys and my yard. My dog loves the attention she gives him. I highly recommend her!”

“Jennifer was awesome! We have two crazy cattle dogs that can be quite a handful, but Jennifer was able to patiently watch them while we were away. She is the best! We will definitely contact her for more dog sitting the next time we go out of town.”

“Sierra and Karma were very sweet and patient with our dog, Baby Bear (given that he’s a chihuahua, it’s no easy feat!). We didn’t have to worry about whether he was doing ok and were able to relax during our time away from him because Sierra and Karma provided updates and pictures during every check-in. We highly recommend their services for all fur babies! 🐶”

About: Every walk is a new experience for a dog, even if it's in familiar territory, and I enjoy helping a dog to have a great one. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for 30+ years and walked them in a professional sense for five. A few of the settings I've enjoyed with dogs are parks, beaches, forests, downtowns, and suburban areas. For most of the year, I am available: Monday morning & evening; Tuesday morning & evening; Wednesday thru Friday mornings only; Saturday most of day; Sunday all day. In a client's home, I will follow the directions of the pet parent and leave it as I found it, as well as making sure the property is secure.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and I started dog sitting when I was 16, so I have 13 years of experience and 23 years of knowing dogs! I am very experience with every kind. My own dog currently does not live with me.! She loves being at her grandparents🙂‍↔️ I am seeking to walk dogs and dog sitting as a part time job as I am a grad student. This is a perfect job for me because I love dogs so much and I love hiking as well and being outdoors. I’m very comfortable with dogs at my house, as long they get along with other dogs and are friendly. However, I can also board dogs if they do not get along with other dogs, they can stay in another room.

“We are so grateful for you! Thank you for caring and playing with Ozzy so well. Love all of the pictures, we looks like he had the best time!”

“Susan did a lunch time visit with our dog Cody and brought her little Luna along. Cody seemed to enjoy the visit and was in good spirits when we returned. We will definitely be using Susan again. We appreciated her excellent communication and the photos she sent us of the visit.”

About: I have always had pets including fish, cats, dogs and a chinchilla. I have pet sit 4 dogs at a time and house sat for family and friends. Over the summer I work, go to school and play sports part time, but I have a good amount of time in the morning and afternoon to check in on all animals! I have a fenced backyard, friendly dogs and experience with dogs and cats. In your home I will ask for specific instructions on pet and home care to ensure the best care and experience with your pets!

“Emily was AMAZING , she communicated well, got along with Garen and Babou so well, took care of them so well and I am incredibly grateful to have found her! She goes above and beyond! Highly highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Jorge. I recently moved to Walnut Creek, CA with my wife and two beautiful daughters. I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish. I have been caring for animals since I was young and I truly feel the most comfortable when helping others and their pets. I will treat your fur babies as if they are my own.

Also, ongoing daily visits for families who are away on vacation or business trips as well as overnight care at my house. I will do my best to make sure each dog enjoys their walk. My availability is very flexible. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon!

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including a beloved dog (sisi) who lived to 23 years old. I now have a dog (Arbie) who is almost two. To me, dogs are like children and deserve endless love, patience, and understanding. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and affection I give my own. ❤️ Your furry baby will always have company and won’t be left home alone. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. ❤️ I want every dog in my care to feel right at home, surrounded by love, attention, and plenty of toys to play with! I also have indoor cameras that allow me to monitor the dogs and keep an extra eye on their well-being. Their comfort and safety are always a priority
