“Amy has been a wonderful dog walker for my golden retriever over a couple of months when I had late nights after work! My dog loves her! Amy does an amazing job at keeping me in the loops about what they did, and any funny stories or behavior changes or potty changes she notes in my dog. Would recommend!”

About: They say to love what you do, right? So I figured, why not make a little extra cash doing something I truly love—because let’s be honest, four kids in ⚽️ isn’t cheap! I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to barnyard friends. These days, I share my home with an Italian Greyhound, two kitties, and my four lovely kids. I’m detail-oriented and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a nice long walk to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air, or some playtime and snuggles, your furry fam will get plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to provide drop-in visits for feedings, playtime, and extra attention. I love making sure your furry fam feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I am detail-oriented and treat everything with respect and care. I follow instructions, leave things tidy, and ensure your furry fam feels loved and safe. I believe in leaving things better than I found them and treating others’ homes and pets the way I would want mine treated.

I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of cuddles! I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated every step of the way I’m working part-time, which means I have plenty of quality time to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays after 2pm, and fully open on weekends for boarding and longer stays. Whether your pup loves playtime or just needs cozy company, I’m here to fit your schedule and keep them happy. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of affection and attention to their needs. I closely follow any routines, feeding instructions, or training cues you rely on at home.

“Tom walked our fur baby several times over two weeks. He was on time and returned our pup at 30 mins, enough time for all his potty business and exercise! Thank you, Tom!”

About: I have a 1.5 year old Aussie shepherd mix who is in ongoing training with me. I got him as a puppy and he is such a love bug! I’m a stay at home mom with a small art studio in my garage that I work out of. I’m home most days so having another dog around would be great for me and my little Aussie mix, Banjo. We take daily walks, play in the backyard, have a large fenced yard to run around, and give lots of love. I have had dogs my whole life, including a German shepherd before getting Banjo. We have done puppy classes together and are about to start private training to hone our skills. Ideally your dog would play well with other energetic pups and be okay with a cat hanging around, although the cat might just make himself scarce with another dog around. I take Banjo for a walk in the mid morning and possibly a smaller walk later in the day. Your dog would get to join us on our daily adventures! We occasionally hike the ridge, shadow cliffs, and the trail near Mission Park. Our yard is large and fenced, we walk the trails around the neighborhood when weather permits, and dogs are welcome indoors of course. When I am working in my studio, there are several doggie beds to choose from at my feet….after getting some exercise first.

“Jane was fantastic. Super communicative and caring. My trip was so much more relaxing thanks to her time, attention and updates. Absolutely plan on using her again!”

“Alison was very patient and sweet with our timid dog Leo. She gave him lots of treats and got him walking! We will definitely work with her in the near future.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I’ve my own cat for 9 years, owned dogs and horses in the past, and currently own farm animals which I care for. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Friend and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets because I am patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I am very flexible and available all week. Thus, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and visits to the dog park without rushing. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, longer exercises, or extra companionship, I am happy to adjust to your schedule and your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets securely leashed during walks, and always stay alert to our surroundings. I’m gentle, calm, and respectful of each animal’s boundaries, especially with nervous and shy pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to build trust with both pets and their owners!

“Mary was great! She was on time and I can tell that my dog really enjoyed her walk.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my life. Snowball, an english lab that I had from ages 6-14. Coco (my family dog currently), a chiweenie mix who we adopted in August 2025. I feed Coco in the mornings, take her on a walk every morning around my neighborhood, I go with my dad at 4pm to take her to the dog park, and whenever we’re at home I play tug of war and fetch with her. At family or friends houses, I always find myself talking less to the people there and mostly hanging out with the pets! I’ve loved dogs my whole life, and a year ago my boyfriend introduced me to loving cats as much. I’m currently working a part-time job at the stoneridge mall in Pleasanton. I have half of my week to dedicate to taking care of furry friends ! My backyard is fenced and we have a doggy door for Coco to use whenever. She never gets left alone for more than 3 hours, but when she does she likes watching tv on the couch.

About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals since I was a kid. I treat pets as if they were my own and respect their space when needed. I’ve worked with different such as livestock (horses, goats, sheep, cows) and your typical domesticated pet. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so having the opportunity to watch someone else’s pet brings me tremendous joy. I currently work full time at a vet hospital Tuesday-Saturdays so it is really nice to be able to come home after work to something warm and fluffy. While in a clients home I always check out the home first so I can feel comfortable and see all possible exits. For pets to gain my trust I always let them sniff me first and treat them as if they were mine. I give them space when they need it. I have high respect for an owners home as well and treat it as if it were my home.

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’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years and understand how hard it is to trust someone with your pet. When your dog is with me, you can expect attentive, experienced care, proactive communication, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe, loved, and well looked after. I have a very structured routine with my two dogs and work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I have ample time for walks, play, attention, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I customize my care based on each dog’s individual needs. You know your dog best, and I work proactively with owners to understand routines, preferences, and any special considerations so I can provide consistent, attentive care in your absence.

“We wanted to thank Mitchell for taking care of our boys. Mitchell was very accommodating to our change of plans and the boys were very happy to see him and go for their walks. Thank you so much!!!”

“Emily was great with my puppy, 20 weeks. She fed him and took him for a walk using a clicker to encourage loose leash walking. She is very kind and loving.”

About: Hello, my family and I are huge animal lovers. We have been pet sitting for for a little over 3 of years now. We travel for long periods so don't have our own pets. This is why when your pet comes to our house, he/she will get spoiled with attention. We try and keep animals that are smaller than 50-55 lbs so they can enjoy free space in the house. I sometimes work at a school so my weekday calendar is usually blocked . Dogs will get lots of exercise when they're with us. about every 2 hours. They are allowed up on the sofa so come cuddle with us. Looking forward to meeting your fur family. I work at a school part time. So daytime usually they will hang out with my husband who works from home. Then afternoon onwards, myself and my two extremely gentle and sweet teen kids will be home to give the pet our undecided attention. Our house is fully fenced all around and pets will always be inside the house unless they want to sun bathe in the back yard.
