Dog Walking Tassajara

About: I’m a cat mom currently working from home and would love for your pets to keep us company. With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and pets of my own, I’m familiar with routines—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and showering your pet with lots of love and attention ❤️🐾 I have a 1-year-old British Shorthair, so I’m very familiar with cat care, litter box routines, and reading body language. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I also speak Mandarin :) My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boardings on weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I’m dependable with timing, quick to respond, and I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit. Safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure on leash, and double-check doors and gates. I’m careful with feeding rules, routines, and home guidelines, and I keep your space tidy. I’ll send updates and contact you right away if anything seems off.

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, including pets of my own. These days, I love caring for other people’s furry family members. The wagging tails, happy purrs, and little moments when a shy pet starts to trust you never get old. Tell me what makes your pet happy! Do they have a favorite walking route, a go-to toy, or a funny little mealtime routine? I’d love to hear about their quirks. Whether they’re always ready to play or prefer a little personal space, I’ll take the time to get to know them. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. From curious puppies and playful kittens to seniors who enjoy a gentler pace, I’ll tailor my care to their needs with plenty of patience and attention along the way. I’ll keep your pet’s routine on track, take care of meals and fresh water, and handle litter box duties for cats. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and watch for changes in your pet’s behavior. You’ll also get photos and updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing. As a pet owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I want your pet to feel comfortable at home. I want you to feel at ease while you’re away. And yes, I will absolutely talk to your pets like we’re having a full conversation. Whether they respond is entirely up to them. I’d love to meet your furry family member! 🐾💕 Have a busy workday, weekend trip, or vacation coming up? I’d love to help keep your pet happy and their routine on track while you’re away! My flexible schedule lets me do morning walks, midday potty breaks, mealtime visits, or evening check-ins. Let me know what your pet’s day usually looks like. We’ll find a plan that works. I’ll confirm the details before booking, arrive on time, and keep you updated if anything changes. I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home to care for your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to find someone dependable, attentive, and easy to reach. Tell me all the little details, even the ones you think might sound silly! Does your dog like dinner served a certain way? Does your cat have a favorite hiding spot? Knowing their habits helps me keep them comfortable and stick to the routine they know. I’ll follow your care instructions, treat your home with respect, and double-check doors and gates to help keep your pet safe. You’ll also get photos and messages so you know how each visit is going. On dog walks, I’ll use a secure leash, watch your pup’s body language, and stay alert to traffic and other animals. With cats, I’ll let them set the pace. Whether they greet me at the door or need a little time and space, I’ll respect what makes them comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. If you want an update or have a question, feel free to check in anytime.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”

“Lyra was timely and gave Daisy such a great walk. She was easy to communicate with and helpful even last minute.!”

About: I used to always dog sit my neighbors dogs, and I believe pets deserve more than basic care. they deserve belly rubs, silly playtime, patience, and someone who celebrates their little personalities every single day! I am a college student right now taking my classes online and I do my best to keep my schedule flexible so I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I make sure to follow their routines and give them the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow your instructions carefully, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of attention. I respect your home, keep you updated, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and love.

About: We love our cockapoo! We miss her dearly when we are away and that is why we want to provide a safe and loving environment for others when they need to be away from their beloved pet. We know they look forward to their outdoor walk time and want to give them that opportunity to enjoy the smells and sights! I am home full-time and me son is also available after school each day. We have a very flexible schedule for walks and potty breaks. I have a fenced back yard and a cockapoo who loves to socialize. We also have a crate if needed. We will offer many potty breaks.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and appreciation for animals! I previously had my sweet potato (my yellow lab Jake) and my little baby (my guinea pig Peanut). They meant the world to me, I miss them every day. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Whether I’m meeting friendly dog while out in public or watching adorable dog videos, they never fail to brighten my day! Having loved and lost my own pets, I understand how precious they are and how important it is to know they’re in caring hands. I would treat every pet with the same love, patience, kindness, and attention that I gave Jake and Peanut. To me, caring for animals isn’t just a job, it’s an opportunity to share my love with furry friends and help their owners feel confident that their beloved companions are being treated like family. Pet care is something I’m excited to incorporate into my weekly routine! I deeply enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to make dog walking/sitting a regular part of my schedule. I’m currently balancing a job that I honestly hope to leave soon if Rover can work out for me. I have flexibility most days and can plan ahead for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting. My goal is to dedicate more time to pet care as I build relationships with clients and establish a consistent schedule. I’m happy to communicate availability in advance to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve! I currently live with my grandparents, but I am happy to stay my clients house. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, my priority is making sure they safe, comfortable, and loved! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I would carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if applicable), and any special care requirements. I would also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and fresh water. I believe communication is important, so I would happily provide owners with updates and photos while they’re away. I would always treat their home with respect and make sure their pets are well cared for.

“Bailey was very punctual and friendly. She was patient with our dog, Gracie, who didn't always want to go for her daily walk. She patiently coaxed Gracie to try to get her to cooperate. When Gracie refused to go, Bailey played with Gracie in the backyard or brushed her and continued to interact with her. Gracie was always happy to see Bailey.”

About: THE go-to pet sitter within my community because of the care, attention, and genuine love I bring to every animal I look after. Friends, family, and clients consistently trust me with their pets because they know I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and attentiveness that I would my own. In addition to years of pet sitting, I have experience working with wild birds, horses, and wildlife through educational and conservation programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for animal behavior and the many different ways animals communicate, build trust, and relate to the people around them in a respectful way. My professional background as a caregiver has also strengthened skills that translate naturally to pet care, including responsibility, observation, consistency, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, supported, and cared for while you're away. Currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting, dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with plenty of time for walks, play, companionship, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their humans are away. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, birds, and horses, and I have experience with anxious pets and shy cats. My approach is centered around patience, respect, and meeting each animal where they are. I’m a calm presence who understands that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I allow pets the space they need while offering support, companionship, playtime, and enrichment when they’re ready. My goal is to help pets feel secure, cared for, and comfortable in their own home.

About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home. Responsible, mature care giver for your pet in your home, following all rules and instructions left by the pet owner. Please let me know of your pets special needs before booking.

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.

“Daryl is amazing and so sweet with my pup!”

About: I know how much it matters to leave your dog with someone you trust. I offer patient, attentive care tailored to your dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of affection, playtime, and time to relax. My 12 year old also loves dogs and will happily offer extra love, playtime and attention under my care. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I plan pet care around each booking so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and confirm scheduling before booking, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep walks secure and supervised, respect your wishes, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I have grown up caring for dogs and cats and I started pet sitting at 12 years of age! I am responsible, I pay close attention to small details, and I will love your pet like my own! I am a helper and want to make your life easier! Whether you’re gone at work or on vacation, I want you to know that your animal is safe and loved while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule and can do drop in visits, overnight visits, and dog walking! Right when I walk in the door, I’ll say hi and give the animal attention if they want it. I read the room to see if it will be a cheerful introduction or a more mellow hello. I make sure that all their needs are taken care of and that they get extra love before I go! I play ball and go on walks for fun exercise with the dogs! I play with cats and love on them too! I also know about animal behavior from past jobs and volunteer puppy raising for future service dogs, so I understand when an animal needs a break or a boundary made- with me or others.

About: We love meeting new dogs and making them feel at home, taking them for walks and playing, or just hanging out on the couch together. We are happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. My spouse and I work remotely and and are able to devote time to give your pet potty breaks, walks, and tons of attention to fully spoil them. We are available for doggy daycare and overnights on weekends or an occasional long weekend stay. We have a fully enclosed backyard with plenty of shade and sun for play and potty breaks. We have a dog of our own who can keep yours company or who can easily be kept separate in my large home. We can provide as many photos and updates as you would like, and we are happy to ensure all pet rules and routines are followed. Walks are always at the appropriate speed and length for the breed and age of your dog.

“Svetlana was punctual, friendly, and great with my dog. I’d definitely book her again!”

I have many years of experience handling and caring for dogs of all ages, including basic obedience training. I am constantly keeping myself educated with dog behavior and training techniques.

I have a Maltipoo, Melo, who is very friendly and loving, and will help keep your pup happy and active when they stay with us. All dogs will be walked 2-3 times a day (weather permitting) for at least 30 minutes each walk, fed as needed, and provided with fun activities. We have a small, enclosed yard where your pup can enjoy some fresh air, sun-tanning, and additional exercise. We also have a beautiful greenbelt right behind our house where there is plenty of room for your dog to roam and play. I know first hand how stressful it can be to leave your 4-legged family member with someone (for both the human and the dog!) so I send daily picture/video updates during your pup's stay so that you can relax and enjoy your vacation!

“Ayla gave our babies the love, attention, and care they needed while we were gone for 10 days. Highly recommend!”

“Jenarae was on time and professional. She took notes and was ready to work with our pups. She was patient with our pups, as each one has individual needs and she was able to modify her style to accommodate them.”
