Dog Walking Tassajara

“I was so paranoid getting a Dog Walker but Dylan gave us so much relief that our fur baby was in good hands.”

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.

“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: Hi! For the past decade, I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes in my warm, spacious Blackhawk home. I also do dog walks and drop in visit for those pups that need care in their own home. There’s a yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore at my house, and I make sure every dog feels like part of the family. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, fun playtime, or relaxing walks, your pup will receive lots of love and attention. I have excellent references from happy pet parents in the Blackhawk/Danville area, and my husband, sweet 13-year-old son and friendly 4-year-old Shih Tzu love welcoming new furry friends! Your pup will have lots of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I truly love having dogs by my side—whether it’s snuggles, playtime in the yard, or plenty of walks around the neighborhood. Every dog who stays with me is treated like family. Drop off and pick up only between 7 am and 7 pm. No Late pick ups please. I can also do local dog walks and drop in visits at your home. When caring for pets in my home, I always aim to keep them on the same routine and schedule they’re used to, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I know how important consistency is for dogs, so I’m happy to follow their usual feeding times, walk schedules, and any special care instructions you provide. Whether your pup loves early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or quiet evening cuddles, I’ll make sure their day feels familiar and happy. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a true home away from home, filled with love, attention, and plenty of tail wags!

“Elizabeth was great in every regard from prompt communication to reliability, follow through, and being very sweet with our dog. She was great!”

“Our dogs received a lot of attention and physical activity, and looked very happy while we were out. Dakota bravely defended our dogs from a sudden attack of an aggressive golden retriever who escaped leash, and helped to prevent a serious injury! Will definitely book again”

“Julia took care of my pair of large dogs making sure they walked early due to extreme heat. It was a perfect match for their personalities and her style. I am grateful for her care of my dog kids when I was away!!”

“Aubrey is incredibly patient and takes the time to make sure Maru feels comfortable. He’s still a little hesitant about having his leash put on, but she’s never rushes him and lets him move at his own pace. He always comes home tired, content, and genuinely happy to see her again. I really appreciate the care and understanding she shows him.”

“Mitchell was great with Lucy! On time, communicated well, loved on Lucy even on their first meeting. We hope Lucy gets to walk with Mitchell again soon!”

About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.

“Georgia was excellent. Timely, and sent photos and updates throughout the walks. I would definitely book her again and felt very comfortable with her watching my dog.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have had the privileged of training and raising several different breeds. From Golden Doodles, to Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, I have worked with highly energetic breeds to lay down and sleep all day lazy bones dogs. I've been blessed in my life to have pets of all kind be receptive to me, I've never met a pet that had an issue with me! I'm currently looking to change jobs out of teaching, which I've been doing for several years. I am looking forward to spending some time outside with the pups! I take my own dogs for walks every single day, and have been doing so for years! My dogs have the highest priority of care from me with strict eating schedules and planned time for exercise and play!

About: I have experience pet-sitting a variety of pets of all ages. I am able to care for dogs, birds, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles. I love all animals! Your pet's wellbeing, happiness, and healthiness is my number 1 priority. My pets are pampered and yours will be too in my care :) I work from home, so I am free to petsit all day long! I have a lot of yard space for dogs to roam and lounge around and I have space to care for several pets at a time. I currently have one dog myself (an elderly French bulldog). Daily dog walks are also a part of my routine. I keep a very clean home, but I have lots of places for dogs to cuddle up on couches or beds as well. I offer pet boarding, so I can watch your pet at my home. In my care, pets are never caged or crated (unless explicitly asked to be). I allow them to roam free around my home and backyard. Dogs in my care are able to get regular walks and lots of love and cuddles. I am also able to watch birds, rodents, reptiles, and rabbits. I love absolutely all animals, although unfortunately I am unable to petsit cats due to the safety of my other animal. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in the absolute best care with me! My home is completely safe and spacious for your pets.

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 have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own husky, Nate, who requires daily structure, exercise, and attention. I’m very comfortable handling high-energy and strong breeds, and I focus on keeping dogs safe, engaged, and well-exercised during every walk. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, and I can accommodate both regular weekly walks and one-time bookings. I make sure to plan my day around the dogs in my care so they get the time and attention they deserve. Safety is always my top priority. I stay attentive during walks, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and make sure each dog is secure on leash at all times. I’m experienced with handling strong and energetic dogs, and I stay aware of my surroundings to keep them safe. I also provide updates when needed so you can feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care. Bonus: Your dog might end up walking with my husky Nate (if a good fit), who loves making new friends 🐺

“Sophie is incredibly reliable and punctual, always showing up on time and ready to take Coraline for a walk. It was evident that our dog absolutely adores her! Sophie takes the time to ensure that not only was Coraline exercised but also engaged and happy. The photos and updates I receive after each walk bring me so much joy and peace of mind. Thank you for everything you do, Sophie.”
