“Andy is such a great dog walker. He really does well with our two German shepherds. They are a lot to handle and he does it all with ease. Thank you!”

“Dash is excellent with dogs. My pups were so happy after their walk. Dash has this calming personality around dogs. I see mine loving being around him. My dogs don’t go out for a walk with anyone except for me. Seeing them trusting Dash was wonderful comforting sight.”

About: Hey there! I'm Matt. pleasure to make your acquaintance. I love taking care of and making dogs feel extra special. I’ve had plenty of experience with special needs dogs, senior dogs, and disabled dogs. I weight about 220lbs and I lift regularly so pullers don’t usually faze me much. I have my two husky mix girls, and I’ve always had dogs. I love taking care of dogs. My girls seem to especially love boy dogs. Of course I love taking care of peoples dogs. I prefer if you give me your guidance on how you’d like me to care for your baby. Dogs usually like routines. Some dogs only pee four times a day and other needs five or six times, so you tell me.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child, my family always had at least one dog. I am comfortable with spending time with dogs, walking them, playing with them, and anything special care they may need! I’m currently a part time college student (I’m starting college later in life) so I have plenty of time to be able to visit and hang out with pets. I always make sure the cats’ needs come first, checking all doors and windows are secured, and that there are no hazards. I’m very calm and patient, whatever energy and mood the cat is in, that is what goes!

About: have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both being a dog owner and pet sitting for others. I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle who I have raised and cared for since he was young, so l understand how important it is to provide dogs with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. Through caring for my own dog, I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, potty breaks, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe. I have also cared for other dogs for friends and family, which has helped me become comfortable working with dogs that have different personalities, routines, and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I'm patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet receives plenty of affection. playtime, and supervision while you're away. I'm also happy to follow any special routines or instructions you have so your dog feels as comfortable as possible. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle of my own. I make time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine based on your pet’s normal schedule and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I live in an apartment and make safety and supervision a priority at all times. Dogs are always leashed when leaving the apartment and carefully supervised in hallways, elevators, and outdoor areas. I make sure each pet has a comfortable and clean space to relax, along with regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. Since I also have a friendly Miniature Poodle, I would make sure dogs are introduced carefully and that everyone is comfortable around each other. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s feeding schedule, walking routine, house rules, and any special care instructions so their pet can feel as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: My experience caring for animals goes back to childhood. At 13, I had my own horse in the Oakland Hills, and my first job was caring for horses at the stable to help pay for his board. Animals have been an important part of my life ever since. Years later, my Australian Cattle Dog, Taz, became one of my greatest teachers. He came to me as a highly reactive rescue, and I developed a structured behavior-modification plan using positive reinforcement, consistency, exercise, and careful attention to his triggers. With patience and years of dedicated training, he made tremendous progress and went on to live a long, happy, and deeply loved life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of canine body language, behavior, enrichment, and the importance of structure and trust. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, rescue dogs, high-energy breeds, and dogs who may need some extra patience. I know that every dog is an individual, and I take the time to understand their personality, routines, boundaries, and quirks. I’m also a professional artist, and animals are a big part of my creative work—I especially love drawing pet portraits and caricatures. Working independently gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to give the animals in my care focused attention. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, engaged, and genuinely cared for. I take the responsibility of looking after someone else’s animal seriously, while making sure we have some fun along the way. I work independently as an artist, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and will work with you to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I believe pets do best when their normal routines and boundaries are respected. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual needs. I use patience and positive reinforcement and prioritize safety on walks and during visits. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing.

“Alison was very very helpful with my puppy Mellow. She followed all the directions I gave and made me feel at ease knowing my puppy is getting the care we want. She was punctual and sent some cute update pics of Mellow, which I loved seeing at work. I feel comfortable with Allison walking my little guy. 😇”

“Lena has been amazing with our dogs. One of our dogs is nervous and anxious. She has spent lots of time getting him comfortable with her. She has shown great patience. We really appreciate her!”

Heather W.

“Anthony was awesome! Took our dog on long walks & was easy to coordinate with. Gochu came back very happy each time!”

Christine C.

“Jasmine is awesome! She was so understanding and flexible about some changes to my booking and was super easy to communicate with about Cassidy's schedule & being apart of my Cassidy Care Crew ™️. She consistently sent little updates and great photos, and my Care Crew was able to flow so smoothly while I had to be away from the pup. Jasmine was 10/10, I'll be checking with her first the next time I need some extra support with Cassidy!”

About: I provide one-on-one neighborhood dog walks tailored to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. I’ve been working with and caring for dogs for several years and currently run Still Hound, a professional dog walking and training business in the East Bay. I’m a dog trainer, so I pay close attention to canine body language and behavior and understand that every dog communicates differently. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments, including energetic, anxious, independent, or more challenging dogs. I’m fully insured, CPR certified, and professionally certified as a dog walker. I’m also permitted by the East Bay Regional Park District for the off-leash trail hikes I provide through Still Hound. My approach to walks is straightforward: keep the dog safe, give them time to exercise and explore, and make the experience appropriate for who they are. Dog care is a regular part of my daily routine. I run Still Hound’s pack hikes during the week and schedule individual walks and training sessions around those hikes. Because I work with dogs professionally, I’m able to offer flexible weekday availability and give each dog plenty of focused attention during their walk. I focus on creating a calm, structured, and safe environment tailored to each dog’s temperament and needs. During walks and training sessions, I use positive reinforcement, clear communication, and high-value treats to keep dogs engaged and responsive. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and group dynamics to ensure dogs are comfortable, socially appropriate, and safely managed at all times. My approach prioritizes consistency, trust, and real-world reliability both on and off leash.

About: When I was a young girl, every birthday, I wished I would get a dog. My parents never gave in so now I watch dogs as a profession. My name is Theo (she/her) and I have more than 7 years of dog-sitting experience. I absolutely love watching pets and providing a structured and pet-centered experience. I am also a coach so I know how to sense when people/animals are in distress and will make sure your dog is well-taken care of while you are away. I am happy to stay at your place and provide daily dogcare (walking, feeding, grooming etc) as needed. I can work from home or in-person and I am available for morning, midday and evening walks for your pup. I can also stay at your house. I most experienced caring for a dog in the owner's home but in some circumstances could also host at my home if the dog is friendly with other dogs.

About: I have tons of experience sitting small, medium, and large sized dogs, and absolutely love them. I have boarded dogs in my own home, in the pet sitters home, love dog walking, and going to the dog park. My rates reflect over 15 years of experience, I can be 100% attentive to your dogs since I work remotely from home and have a safe and clean home to board your dog. I work from home as a graphic designer, so my schedule is really flexible, which also means that I can be attentive to your dog more so than others who may have a normal work schedule. Clean and safe home, fenced backyard, smoke-free, large park only a couple blocks away. I can offer custom special rates for those that live within 2 miles or so from downtown/midtown Sacramento.
