“Taylor has been a gem! She was available super last minute to walk my pup for me and has now offered to take her to the dog park for extra playtime 🙌🏻 I’ll def continue to use her services!”

“Angela was great. She asked for a meet and greet prior to the walk, a thoughtful gesture. She is a good communicator and on time. Pepe (our pup) loved her, and we could tell she has plenty of experience with animals. We knew our pup would be in good hands. She showed up on time for his 1 hour walk. Sent a couple photos, and promptly updated us after the walk. We would definitely use Angela again, don’t hesitate to book with her!”

“Linda has been wonderful to work with! She is so good with the dogs and goes above and beyond to help care for them. We will absolutely use her again and recommend without hesitation.”


About: Passionate dog lover with experience in all breeds and sizes. I’ve handled walks, feeding picky eaters, administering meds, and even attended training classes with clients. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands. I currently have very flexible availability during winter break and can provide care throughout the day. Once classes resume in late January, I’m typically available afternoons, evenings, and overnight, with flexibility depending on location and schedule. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home and treat each space with respect. I follow routines closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and prioritize trust, communication, and responsible care at all times.
“Heidi came to our home to walk our Doberman while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable. We received pictures and comments daily with every walk. It was very comforting to us to know our pet was in safe hands.”


“This was the second time I had Sierra review my dog, Bodhi. She was on time, came on short notice, and sent a pic of my dog chilling on his blanket. Very happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and can’t wait to take care of your cuties . Animals are an important part of our lives and they deserve the world Pets are a big part of my routine! I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I enjoy keeping a consistent schedule to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I love my pets so much ! And I would take care of your pets like mine. I love animals and would love to hangout with them
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
“Julia did a great job! I have a big dog and she had no problem walking and feeding her. Julia was always on time and consistently updated me. I will definitely schedule with her again.”

“Brittany has so SO great with my Tucker. She has been prompt, super friendly and kind and shared images of their walk together. Tucker seems to be in great hands and would def recommend!”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I've jokingly called myself a "cat whisperer" and pride myself in connecting with kitties of all ages. I will care for your furry friend like it is my own. I prefer to care for cats and small dogs as I'm admittingly intimidated by large dogs. I am currently home full time with my young children, so I have a very flexible schedule to help care for your pet. Occasionally I may need to bring them with me during care hours, so if your pet is very timid or not good around small children we probably aren't a good fit. Sorry. I prefer to take care of your pet in your home, and would diligently spend time and give care to your pet like it was my own.

“Nicky is an absolute gem! She has been walking my puppy a few days a week for a month and my puppy absolutely loves her! Nicky sends photos and videos from every single walk and gives me any important feedback. She is very patient and loving with my puppy and has been 100% reliable. I would have no issue with leaving my pup with her for overnight visits as well.”


“Great communicator and reliable. Checked in to confirm the meet and greet, had good connection with our high energy boy. Will be sad to see Samantha return to school. Highly recommend her for your pet needs.”

“I have nothing but a great experience with Kendall. He is awesome and the way he responds and take care of the dog. It’s truly a blessing thank you so much and I really appreciate you. I’m so excited. I so happy to have found you and my dog just loves you.”

“I couldn’t be happier with Perry as our dog walker! I have two large, energetic Doberman mixes, and Perry has been incredible with them. From our initial meet-and-greet, his calm confidence put both my protective dogs (and me) at ease. Perry takes them on brisk, 1.5-2 mile walks, and they return happily tired. He’s always punctual and thorough, sending updates and photos through the Rover app, which I really appreciate. My dogs genuinely look forward to seeing him, and I feel confident they’re in great hands. Perry has been a huge help, and I’m thrilled to continue working with him. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Although I haven't personally owned dogs as long as cats, I have had just as much hands on experience loving and caring for them. I absolutely adore dogs, any size shape or age and have a wide experience of not only taking care of my personal dog but others as well. Id love to be your dogs new best friend and give it the best quality of care it deserves with treats, long walks, pats, toys and attention . I work part time currently as well as attend school but have very good time management skills so when not working I have plenty of free time. I strictly work early mornings at my jobs so usually later mornings to early afternoons and on is when im off and free for the remainder of the day to care to your pet. I want nothing but the best when it comes to your animal, Id treat them as my own so when under my watch I would always be supervising and making sure were in a clean and cool environment while also allowing them the space they need. Im very observant and when first getting to know a pet Id like to just get to know them and see what they are and aren't comfortable regarding physical activity, pets/scratches, diets, sleepy time, etc etc and move from their. I just want to build a strong relationship with your pet and be someone they can be comfortable and feel safe around.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Heidi! From the moment we left for our vacation, she made us feel completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such caring and capable hands. Heidi was exceptional with communication, providing regular updates, thoughtful messages, and plenty of adorable photos that helped us stay connected to our little one while we were away. Her updates gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup at home. What impressed us most was how Heidi consistently went above and beyond. When our puppy experienced a bit of an upset stomach, Heidi thoughtfully purchased some pumpkin to help her feel better. She also took the initiative to clean up the poop in our side yard, which was incredibly appreciated and certainly not something we expected. These small acts of kindness demonstrated just how much she genuinely cares about the pets and families she serves. Heidi also spent time working on leash training with our energetic, curious puppy—a task that is not always easy! Her patience, dedication, and willingness to reinforce good habits showed her commitment to our dog's well-being and development. It is clear that Heidi is passionate about what she does and truly loves the animals she cares for. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter or dog walker. Thank you, Heidi, for taking such amazing care of our girl. We look forward to booking with you again in the future! 🐾❤️

I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! My pups adored her from the moment they met her, and they wait with enthusiasm for her to take them for their daily walkies. They come home tired and happy. Taylor is super professional, great with communication, passionate about her work, and incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs. She takes adorable and hilarious walk photos and I love the daily notes about how everything went. Taylor is awesome!

Veronica responded to my last minute request quickly and was able to take my dog for a walk when I wasn't feeling well. She was on time in arriving and bringing Bodhi home. She took several cute photos and he seemed to like her immediately. I will definitely consider Veronica in the future for dog walking, etc.
