Dog Walking Rodeo

“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”

Claire R.

“Val is by far the best sitter on Rover! I have used her multiple times for both dog walking and dog sitting, and she goes above and beyond to make my dogs experience enjoyable, and to make my experience easy and without any worries. I would highly recommend her for everything!”

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.

“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”

“Adam is awesome!! My dogs love him and he is great with my dogs, and they aren’t the easiest dogs to walk. He has been available for last-minute requests, and has even fed my dogs when I couldn’t be there. He also fed my cat. Adam is trustworthy and always on time, and excellent at communication. Simply the best!!!”

Cathy R.

“Deborah was an angel to work with! My dog could immediately tell she was a dog person. Took to her like a fish to water. He came back in an amazing mood, ready for a nap. So grateful and appreciative!!!”

“I really appreciated Xiao’s patience with my pup today. I have a rescue Chihuahua mix who does not warm up easily to new people. She got him out for two walks today while I had to travel out of town for work. It really put my mind at ease knowing Murphy was in good hands.”

“On time and keeps you updated. Thank you!”

About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats.

“I'm very glad that we met Jenna and she is giving Violet walks on a regular basis. Jenna is very accountable and trust worthy. She is calm and understanding with my often anxious dog. And this week she responded to a last minute request for a walk... I appreciate the level of flexibility and quick responses that she provides.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up we had 12 Dobermans on our property. Most of my childhood involves caring for them. Since then I’ve owned dogs, and worked on other platforms taking care of and walking other animals. You can trust your fur baby will be in the best of care.

I try my best to relieve their anxiety and give them that extra attention or space.

About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.
