Dog Walking Shafter

“Laura has been a terrific dog walker for us and our GSD. She is conscientious and has a calm demeanor that works so well for our furry girl. She always sends a pic during the walk, too. We were especially thankful she was able to respond to a spur-of-the-moment request - again with great generosity of spirit. We are so thankful for finding Laura H. :D”

About: I had two very pompous cats growing up. I now have a very lazy pitbull I rescued when he was a puppy and had the privilege of loving a beautiful and patient senior terrier. Safe to say I have experienced it all and it’s one of the greatest gifts :) I’m a recent graduate and I suppose one can say the job market is tough. However, because of this I have loads of free time!! Best way to spend free time is around lovely pets! I will treat you fur best friend as if they were my own. I’m very protective of my own and will be the same towards yours as well as shower them with tons of love!

“Angela was outstanding during our first week of dog walks. She made my nervous dog feel right at home and was on time and thorough every time. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“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: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years and absolutely love spending time with them. A family member owns a farm, and when their dog had puppies, I helped care for the litter and learned how important patience, love, and attention are. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a college student, I have free gaps between classes that allow me to provide reliable pet care, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, provide food and water, give plenty of attention, ensure safety, and keep their environment clean and comfortable for the pets and owners.

“Terry was great with our big dog Ziggy. Ziggy is strong and has a lot of energy. He always returned from the walks happy and exhausted. Terry went above and beyond to work with and bond with my dog. Will definitely hope to have him walk Ziggy again when we need the help. Thanks!!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have many years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for Maltese, Border Collies, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Boston Terriers, and many others, from energetic puppies to senior dogs up to 15 years old. I am comfortable with different routines and energy levels, and I love giving dogs plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and affection. I make sure every dog receives plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, cudd Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog loves playing and attention or prefers a quiet place to

About: Hello! I am a student studying wildlife conservation. I have lots of experience caring for all sorts of critters. I have personally owned/grew up with cats, snakes, a bearded dragon, fish, tortoises, and turtles. I have provided care for countless dogs - they're my favorite hiking buddies. I wish I could have one, so instead, I settle for hanging out with my friends' and clients' dogs. In addition to pet care, I have worked with animals in zoos, labs, and in the wild. I'm very comfortable performing basic health procedures, administering medications, and can recognize signs of illness and distress among pets. I was the health manager for the tuco lab at Berkeley. I promise your pet will be in loving hands. I guarantee an abundance of cuddles and scritches. Additionally, I can help with any indoor or outdoor plant care. Gardening is a beloved hobby and source of stress-relief. I volunteer at my local community garden and have taken landscape horticulture classes through Merritt College. **Please feel free and book with me wherever you are and for how ever long. However, due to my schedule as a student and having to drive between Berkeley and my home, I generally can not provide care in homes east of the Oakland hills. Thank you for understanding.** I am a student in the process of creating a career in which I can spend as much time as possible with animals. It is a relatively flexible schedule. When I'm not in class I enjoy working outside and take breaks by going for walks in the neighborhood and nearby parks. I could easily fit your pet into that routine! In fact - I feel they're just what I've been missing :) I want to make your time away from your pets as stress-free as possible. I will send lots of photos of our time together. I will take good care of your home, respect your house rules and make sure to clean up after your pets and myself. I'm happy to water plants, check the mail, take out the trash bins - whatever y'all would need from a house sitter while you're away. I enjoy cooking so please let me know if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies in your household and don't want certain foods in your home. Or if you'd prefer I didn't cook in your kitchen at all :)

“Nati is awesome!”

About: Hi, I’m Cassandra, you can call me Cass if you like. I grew up in the farmlands of western Massachusetts, where animals were everywhere, so I’ve been surrounded by them my whole life. Most pets feel instantly comfortable with me, and I’ve even successfully tamed feral kittens for rehoming on several occasions. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even a chicken or two, and I work part-time at a dog sanctuary fostering small dogs from Mexico to loving homes in the Bay Area. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, able to meet each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s a senior dog requiring extra care, a shy cat needing gentle reassurance, or a playful pup ready for walks and cuddles. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a creative consultant helping mission-driven individuals and nonprofits reach their goals and make maximum impact. I work mostly from home, which allows me plenty of flexibility to accommodate dog walking times, feedings, and cuddle sessions. On the days I have in-person meetings, they typically last 1–3 hours, so I can easily plan around them to ensure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I live in a small 500-square-foot cottage with my two cats, and my adult daughter comes home from grad school occasionally, so caring for pets in my own home isn’t feasible. Focusing on in-home care allows me to give each pet personalized attention in their familiar environment, keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their families are away

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

“It was great working with Jesse! He is responsive and took great care of our dog, and was able to accommodate last-minute changes in our travel itinerary. We look forward to working with him again!”

“Christina was recommended from my prior Rover dog sitter. I had needed to find a new sitter/walker since my regular Rover dog sitter/walker was not available on my dates. Christina initiated a meet & greet which not every person on Rover offers. I really liked that! She was prompt, professional and my dogs immediately warmed up to her. Although I was out of her normal zip codes, she was willing to walk my dogs when I was out of town. My 2 pups pull on the leash and she was okay with that. I would recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Christina!”

About: I've been the consistent go-to pet sitter for many friends for years. I love cats and dogs equally and am experienced taking care of both. I've had cats of my own before and lived with 3 very different dogs at different times in my life. I currently live with one well behaved Corgi that gets along well with others. My backyard is fenced in and safe for dogs to explore and have the option of inside or outside when they please. I'm currently working part time and from home so I have plenty of attention and time to give to the pups or kitties. I usually do a morning and evening walk when watching a dog. I have a fenced in yard, sunny deck, and easy access to indoors/outdoors. There are plenty of dog toys here and a small well behaved Corgi most of the time.

About: I offer personalized, loving care for your furry family members while you're away. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or walks in the park, I'll ensure your pup feels right at home. With plenty of belly rubs and tail wags, your dog will have a blast! Trust me to treat your dog like my own and give them the attention they deserve. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine! I make sure to carve out time to care for every pet l look after, whether it's feeding, taking walks, playtime, or cuddles. It's all about ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I work my schedule around the pets' needs, so each day is tailored to providing them with the best care and attention possible. Every dog is different, and I make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I provide care, safety, and trust by treating every dog like they're my own. I always make sure to follow any instructions from the pet owners to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I prioritize safety by ensuring their environment is secure and comfortable, and I monitor them closely for any changes in behavior or health. I believe trust is built through clear communication, so I keep pet owners updated with photos, videos, or messages, and I'm always available for any questions. My goal is to provide a good experience for both the dog and their family, knowing they're in caring, capable hands!

“Richard was incredible with our new puppy. Moro can be a bit of a handful, but Richard was so good to him on the walks and provided him with all the care he needed. We really appreciated Richard's timely communication and engaging updates. We even got a helpful doggy report card at the end of our vacation! Moro looks forward to spending more time with Richard in the future.”
