“We love Stephanie! She has been walking my dog 2x per week for the last few months and will continue to do so! She has great communication and is great with Zara. I appreciate the update texts and report cards and is able to work with a last minute change in schedule.”

“Chalise is awesome! I didn’t have the chance to meet her before having her walk my dogs but figured she would be a great fit because of all her other great reviews and I was not wrong! She arrived when she said she would, took pictures of the walk”

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually home during the hours when many owners are away at work or busy, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for animals. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide fresh water, daily playtime, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep their schedule consistent with what they’re used to—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet rest—so they feel secure and happy. Most importantly, I give them plenty of love and attention, making sure they feel like part of the family during their stay.”
About: I have years of experience with cats with owning 3 growing up. I am a vet assistant who LOVES pets 😇 I am very attentive to pet care, and will always make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I am a full time student at Las Positas (last semester 😃) who goes to class Monday and Wednesday. I work Thursday- Sunday locally in Danville, and since Tuesday is my only day off I spend it at the East Bay SPCA. I truly love pets and will always find a way to include them in my daily life. My schedule can seem intimidating, but this busy crazy schedule somehow finds me with so much 😇 When I visit a pet in someone’s home I make sure the pet knows this is their space and I am just a friend there to provide love and food. While being at your home I leave no trace of me even being there! Seriously I will leave your house clean, and respect as my own. Your pet is my priority and I’ll make sure to keep you updated throughout our time together.
About: I offer premium, personalized experience by hosting only ONE pup at a time. Being home full-time allows me to give your pup my undivided attention, continuous care, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. As a stay-at-home dog mom to my sweet pup, Bella. I'm a total animal lover at heart. We treat every pet in our care just like family. We truly love spending quality time with other dogs and connecting with fellow pet parents, making sure your fur baby gets all the love, attention, and comfort they deserve. When I do a drop-in visit at your home, my focus is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, medication, or special routines. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time caring for your furry friend. I’m also flexible on weekends and can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.
“Isabel was great with my two large dogs! She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet and was very helpful in making sure the dogs were taken care of! Looking forward to booking more walks with her!”
About: As the proud owner of a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animal care. He’s my first dog, but my passion for watching over and nurturing animals has been lifelong. I believe exercise is key to a happy, healthy pet. I regularly take my dog on long walks and would ensure the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s playing, petting, or just spending quality time, I genuinely enjoy creating moments that bring joy to animals. Cleanliness and grooming are also priorities for me. I love brushing my dog and ensuring his coat stays healthy while keeping our home fur-free. You can trust that your pet’s hygiene will always be well cared for in my hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I would treat them as if they were my own. I have a Belgian Malinois which is one of the most active and energetic dog breads. I care for him daily from multiple walks, to feeding, brushing, and playing with him. I prioritize his well-being all while working a full time job. I work from 7 to 5 so we are up and at it by 4 AM. Then I come home to take care of my Maui. For clients, my availability will be from Monday to Sunday. I do not work from home but I work very close to my office so I could drop by in the afternoon to take your fur baby out to pee and stretch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while respecting your home. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Follow Your Instructions I adhere to the feeding schedules, dietary requirements, exercise routines, and any specific instructions you provide. Maintaining consistency is key to keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. 2. Keep Their Routine Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure walks, playtime, and naps happen as expected. I also take the time to engage with them in ways they enjoy, such as games or cuddling. 3. Maintain Hygiene I clean up after the pet, ensuring their spaces (e.g., feeding area, litter box, bedding) are always neat. If they need grooming, like brushing or wiping paws, I handle it with care. 4. Provide Plenty of Exercise and Attention Whether it’s walks, playtime in the yard, or indoor activities, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 5. Ensure Safety I keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents, secure any areas they should avoid, and monitor for signs of illness or distress. 6. Respect Your Home I leave your home as I found it, keeping spaces clean and secure. I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while away. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the love, care, and attention your pet deserves while maintaining the trust and comfort of their home environment.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines. I know every pet is different, and I strive to make each visit feel as stress-free and familiar as possible while treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own.
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She is very nice, sweet, and incredibly responsive. We booked quite late, but she was supportive and accommodating right from the start. We really appreciated that she took the time to come and meet our fur baby the night before the scheduled walk. This helped us feel completely at ease. We loved the pictures she shared with us during the walk, and the report clearly shows he loved the experience and had a great time! We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again”


About: Growing up with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals made me love them even more! I also love the outdoors and take daily walks, but my apartment doesn't have space for a dog. So I would love to walk with yours if your dog needs some extra attention and outdoors time too! I work as an after-school math educator and love to go on walks! I don't get enough steps in during my evening shifts, and you probably can't walk your pup during work, so this is the best of both worlds :) I always say my cats have a better life than I do, and I want the same for your pets! I'd love to message you a photo of our walks for your reassurance and entertainment :)
“Christopher is the best— So much availability, trustworthy, and my dog gets so excited when he comes to the door, like more excited than he ever gets for me to walk him! 100 stars”

“Sneha is great with my golden. They walk for an hour and he comes back well exercised and happy. She’s great at communicating when she takes him and drops him off. I’d highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my whole life. Friends and family pick me to take care of their fur babies when they are gone. I love meeting new animals and even though no one likes doing it, yes i clean up after the fur babies and don’t just act like i didn’t see it. I am currently a student at the community college las positas. I take morning classes monday-thursday and have a job at a restaurant in livermore usually from 4-9 daily. No matter the circumstances, i may seem like a busy individual. But I am always having down time and since I can’t have an animal of my own (in my apartment) I would love to spend time with your fur babies and take care of them as convenient to you! Since I do live in an apartment, I can’t take your fur babies home with me. But I am more than happy to stay as long as needed and play with them and get their energy out before you get home. As well as feeding them and/or bathing them.
“Xiaoyu was so responsive and accommodating when we were late to pick up our dog. Moreover he LOVED his walk and was so happy and satisfied after. That comes from a good sniffing walk which only a dog lover would know.”

Amy gave me so much confidence. She has a lot of experience. She doesn’t just walk dogs; she really understands how to handle various needs and build trust with anxious/reactive dogs. Our anxious girl got comfortable around her pretty quickly. She instills a sense of safety, knows best practices for dog handling, and is great at communicating. We are looking forward to leveraging her services!

Zach has been walking our 5-year-old fox red Labrador, Ruby for awhile now, and we couldn’t be happier. Ruby absolutely loves Zach — she gets excited the moment he arrives, which tells us everything we need to know. He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Ruby comes home happy and well-exercised every time. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.

We love Stephanie! She has been walking my dog 2x per week for the last few months and will continue to do so! She has great communication and is great with Zara. I appreciate the update texts and report cards and is able to work with a last minute change in schedule.

Carly has been amazing with my dog Lady. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. Lady took to her right away and always comes back from walks happy and well exercised. Carly also keeps me updated, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk or care for their dogs.

Stephen was wonderful! We loved reading the Rover cards he would write us and the pictures are always so cute. Our dog is one of the most important things in our life and we are so grateful for the care he received with Stephen. Steve gave us ease of mind while we are gone and did a great job with our pup. It was such a great relief knowing there was a reliable sitter we could trust to care for our little guy. Thanks Steve!

We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She is very nice, sweet, and incredibly responsive. We booked quite late, but she was supportive and accommodating right from the start. We really appreciated that she took the time to come and meet our fur baby the night before the scheduled walk. This helped us feel completely at ease.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
