Dog Walking In Upper Laurel

“We have used Christine as a dog walker on several occasions, and she is great! Christine does a good job of communicating with us when she takes Linus for his walks, and she takes great pictures! She is punctual, trustworthy, and our dog loves her. Highly recommend!!”

“Sandy is so sweet. Bella loved her. We hired her for a few walks while out of town and she was perfect. She ebbed can and met us before we left time to meet Bella. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Emma took my pup on a mid-day walk and as usual was very punctual, communicative and friendly. Rigatoni loves her and I have full trust in her”

“Felicia is a great pet caretaker! She's been excellent at communicating about the needs, statuses, and wellbeing of my animals. She watched my cats over the holiday weekend and has been walking my 4 month old lab/shepherd puppy this whole week as I've started a new job. I know my babies are well taken care of when she's with them, and so I have peace of mind.”

About: I have loved animals my whole life! My walls were always adorned with National Geographic photos of my favorite creatures and I longed to one day have my own little wolf pack! I grew up mainly with cats and have a huge adoration for the felines of the world. I once had a three legged cat named Ziggy ( Stardust) whom was my most treasured companion. I always had friends with a lot of dogs who depended on me to love and support them as my own. Currently, I have a 8 year old Black Labrador Retriever named Olive who has been my closest furry friend for years! I truly consider her a part of me. I also have been raising my Yellow Lab pup, Juniper, since she was 8 weeks old. She is now currently 4 years and 2 months old. Raising a puppy has by far been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I have had so much fun training her! I consider myself a confident two legged friend who knows how to set healthy boundaries so that a pup can become the best they can be! I am a practicing herbalist and my heart is always geared towards healing. I care deeply for the sweet animals in my life! I am currently working part time and am an online student. Generally, I am available some mornings for dog walking and some nights as well. Sitting is a possibility but may be limited to my schedule. Feel free to ask! I like to play a little fetch or tug with them out in the yard or whatever keeps your pup stimulated:) But happy to take a nice long walk when appropriate for your pooch. I am very attentive to all animals and do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.

“Laura was a savior for us at the last minute when my wife had a leg injury and couldn't walk our pup. She was friendly and on time. We'd definitely request her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities for over three years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience following feeding schedules, giving basic care, and providing extra attention to puppies and senior dogs. I always treat pets as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they get attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. As a nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes and overall well-being. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and love.

“Korin is great! She took great care of Snow on relatively short notice, which I really appreciated. She’s a great communicator, attentive to detail and has an easy going attitude which makes planning a breeze. She kept me posted and provided details of their walks. I’ll definitely be reaching out whenever we need her pet sitting services in the future.”

About: I have a GSP named Belle who keeps me active. Belle and I enjoy long walks at the Berkeley Marina, Point Isabel, and King Estate. On good days, I take Belle on hikes at Redwood, Sibley, and the surrounding areas. I am home full-time with my 6 y/o German Pointer, Belle. Belle and I spend at least 1 hour outside everyday, weather permitting, and would love some company on our daily adventures. Dogs have supervised access to the yard for bio breaks and are free to explore the apartment unless owner prefers otherwise. Mental games and toys are available to keep dogs entertained if I am busy in the kitchen or running errands.

About: Missing my pack! Ready to love yours. Hi Yay Area! I'm a pet lover currently in a (temporary) pet-free zone. Growing up, my home was run by 4 dogs, 2 cats, a cool snake, and a fish tank that was its own little world. I know the joy—and the juggle—of caring for a full house! I'm here to provide reliable, loving care so you can breathe easy. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to see if your dog and I are instant besties. No pressure, just pets and good vibes. DOG LOVERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! 🐾 I work from home mostly and have the freedom and desire to run errands throughout the day. To me taking care of dogs is the responsibility of everyone in the village. For me and my dog I believe he is at his happiest when he is tired physically and mentally. That means using different puzzles and going on runs.

“Kerri is amazing on walks with our energetic and reactive dog Buster! She's very kind and calm with him, and he responds so well with her. We also appreciate how prompt and communicative Kerri has been.”

About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.

“Madeline was great with Oso! I know he appreciated her long thorough walks and she could handle his excitement every time she came over. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Juliana was wonderful with our shy pup Chami! She took him on lovely walks in the woods and has great energy with dogs. She is highly punctual and reliable. Would highly recommend!”

About: In 2012 my mother started a dog boarding business out of her own home. I was this businesses number #1 (and in a lot of ways only) Employee. We watched an average of 4 dogs a day not including the dogs me and my mother had that were our own and the fosters we were taking care of as well. We closed down the business in 2021 when we moved and now that I have my own place I'm looking to work with pets again (dogs and cats!). I can not board but I can still do walks and sitting. I'd love to meet and get to know your pets. I work weekends so I am not going to be available most Saturdays and Sundays before 6pm. On the flip side I am completely open on any weekday for walking or sitting. I can make any of those days work with your schedule. I won't be able to take care of your pet in my home but I can do whatever is needed of me if I were to take care of your pet in your home. Wether that's crating, specific feeding schedules or making food from provided ingredients, routines for outside and potty time. I want to make your pets experience as close as it I can do your ideal.

About: I've been trusted to take care of dogs of all sizes and ages for over 30 years. I have 1st aid training, licensed and insured. I work a part-time, flexible schedule that leaves plenty of time to tend to any personalized pet needs and am home most of the day. I have a fenced yard and a friendly fur-baby, Louie who loves other dogs. I provide multiple daily walks and can offer crate-training, if needed.

About: I'm a nature lover and natural animal lover—especially doggies. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for my my own pets: dogs, a rabbit and a cat. Currently, I help care for my aging mom’s little senior Shitzu: weekly walks at a nearby parks, vet care and lite grooming. Comfortable with harness attaching and removal. My own beloved dog passed away a couple of years ago, I still enjoy encounters with other dogs on my daily walks, giving ear rubs and back scratches—dogs just bring me joy. Currently, I’m retired, so my availability is flexible for you and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for various breeds and size (small to medium size dogs), but I can handle larger senior dogs. I routinely walk at various designated parks and trails in the East Bay. When I pet-sit in my apartment, I inquire about pets regular routine first: walking, feeding, and medication (if necessary). I require they provide their pet’s own: bedding, sleepwear, food and treats and up to date vaccines. I also ask for emergency info: Vet, pet-owner (s), and an alternate contact. Finally, I will send regular updates via text, pictures or videos of your pets outings or stays—live if you like!

“Elyse was amazing! Our normal dog walker bailed on us last minute, so we needed someone fast. Elyse went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable with her and had great communication with us. She is super sweet and our pitties love her!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends and families pets for years and that love led to me working in an animal shelter for 5 years, they’re living beings too and they deserve to be cared for I’m very flexible with my schedule so I can work any time usually as long as it’s before midnight, nothing in life is set in stone and that goes for taking care of pets. I always make sure my animals weather dogs, cats, rabbits etc. are fed and have gotten there daily does of outside time, and of course play time/ cuddle time and nap time. I always make sure that when they’re awake that I give them that human interaction as much as needed.

“Mango loved her first walk with Alexis! Looking forward to many more adventures.”
