“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Liam and Nadia did a great job of keeping us in the loop with Archer. He seems to have adjusted well and has come home a happy boy! We will happily book again with them in the future ❤️”
“Sally is amazing!!! My wire hair fox Terrier, Alfie had a great time. He loved playing in her large yard with the other dogs. Sally sent photos and videos of him during his stay. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others. Thank you Sally for taking such great care of my fur baby!!!”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“Caio was great! Our dog is part of our family and we were sad to leave him, but Caio reassured us and made sure he was well taken care of! Caio made time during the week (before dropping off our dog) to meet him and his family, and get to know the environment. Our dog was initially scared of stairs, but Caio was very patient and taught him how to climb up and down the stairs. He constantly sent us pictures of our dog and provided us updates. Great experience!”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“This was our first time boarding our two golden retrievers and Virginie and Maxime were wonderful to my girls! They played with them, took them on walks, and included them in their family activities. They sent me pictures and videos so I knew that they were taken care of and having fun. I’ve already recommended them to two of my friends!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Lauren was the best. A beautiful home with a nice little yard for my older boxer. She works from home so she’s home quite a bit which really helps my clingy boy m. I had a ton of pictures and text. She took a great care of him. He was so happy. thank you so much Lauren!”
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”

“Agne did such a wonderful job taking care of my 2 kitties. Although she didn’t have the opportunity to see too much of them since they like to remain hidden, she made sure they were well cared for. She also had to do some ant combat. I highly recommend her for your upcoming cat care. I will be referring her to my cat lady friends.”
“Stefanie was the best choice for our little Sesame. He’s a very people-focused kitten, so we were a little anxious leaving him with someone else, but we immediately knew he would be in good hands. Stefanie made sure she was aware of all his habits, feeding preferences, etc. and sent us photos throughout his stay. She really put our minds at ease and we couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Emily went above and beyond! Our feeder ran out of food and our food was not delivered yet. She noticed and told me before the feeder notified me! She also got the package, restocked, and made sure Baker was ok!”
“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”
“Kathleen did an amazing job caring for my babies! Some things fell through and she was available last minute, which alleviated my stress. It felt so great knowing my kids were well taken care of and I could relax while away. She did all the things I asked and I came home to a clean home as I left it. I will be rebooking in the future! Thank you!”
“Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I look forward to working with Taylor again in the future and would absolutely recommend her cat sitting services. Thank you again for everything, you made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands!”
“Megan always goes above and beyond! Our house was invaded by ants while we were away and she tackled it all as if it were her own home and pets ❤️ The level of service and Megan's unwavering sense of responsibility are always so impressive and appreciated!”
“Michele was amazing caring for my senior cat. She was very prepared and even before I left I was sure Emmy would be in good hands. She also went above and beyond by noticing that the cat seemed off and taking her to the vet, which might have saved her life! Overall, it was a great experience for both the cat and me.”
“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Susan! She cared for our cat for several days while we were out of town, coming twice a day to feed and check on him. She provided a very helpful meet & greet prior to the booking and was prompt and responsive in all communications. She was gentle and patient with our shy kitty and earned his trust for belly rubs by the end of their visits!! I super appreciated her thorough narrative and photo updates each day. Thank you Susan!!! :)”
About: I have been around cats my entire life and grew up caring for multiple family cats. My family currently has several cats, so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and recognizing when a cat needs space or extra attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and I am committed to providing patient, loving, and reliable care while owners are away. I will treat your cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Jessica did an outstanding job with daily drop-ins with our two cats. She was professional, communicative, and flexible - we would highly recommend her to anyone in the Walnut Creek area. The easiest 5-star review I've ever had!”
About: Caring for cats, dogs and horses since I was 15. Worked in emergency veterinary care for 15 years. Not only will I ensure your fur baby is safe but also that they stay on their regular routine. Only working Tuesday-Thursday at the moment so I have plenty of time for your pets needs and ensuring they are well cared for for in your absence I’m a stickler for routines and will absolutely make sure your pets regular feeding & potty schedule is adhered to. I also want to make sure they are comfortable while you’re out.
About: I have experience caring for cats of various ages and personalities, including senior cats and cats requiring oral medications or additional monitoring. I understand that many cats are most comfortable when their routines remain consistent and their environment stays familiar. Whether I'm providing drop-in visits or overnight care in your home, my focus is on helping your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Care may include feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, playtime, companionship, and monitoring overall well-being. As a retired officer, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I also hold a Cat & Dog First Aid certification. Some cats enjoy interactive play and social attention, while others prefer a quieter approach and companionship on their own terms. I take the time to learn each cat's personality and preferences so I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care while helping your cat feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed in your absence.

“Monica is wonderful! I recently used her services to look after my dog and I couldn't be happier. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter!”
“Chloe was great with my senior dachshund, Leia! She is caring and attentive and asked the right questions about her to provide the best care possible for her. And she was flexible about caring for her at my place. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Brayden and Noel took great care of my dog. She can be shy and anxious with new people, and they were very skillful and patient with her. Their communication is great too. I always get a prompt response from them. I highly recommend them.”
“Sant and his lovely peaceful Family has become a part of My Family after ONLY one and a half days' time at there magnificent place. I highly advise extreme caution for any future visitors (the ones blessed to receive a "booking confirmation" from Sant&Family)... Heightened awareness of: Motor vehicle rushings Senseless speediness Distracted driving Children hauling gear Overpopulated areas Robot activities ....& a few more. Thank you for being aware and respective of my familial families home. Please conduct business with awareness and respect. BE SAFE 🦋”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jessica. This was my first time leaving my dog at a day care and Jessica quickly made me feel at ease and confident that my dog was going to be well taken care of. She responds very quickly to messages and provides great updates throughout the day. My dog came home happy and tired.”
“Justine could not have been more accommodating in making sure our puppy Theo’s stay was inviting and overall amazing! 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
“I’m extremely satisfied with Rachel’s professionalism and kindness towards my beloved Gizmo; always provided updates and pics, she’s super easy to work with and I hope she’s available in the future to take care of my dog again & again :-) Thank you Rachel, you’re the best!!”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
“Great first trial with Jess. Our dog Meeko is a rescue and has abandonment anxiety but she did good for her first daycare trial. Thank you Jess for taking good care of her. We look forward to putting her in your trusting environment for our upcoming weekend trip.”
“Alex is so dependable and responds quickly to inquiries. I have complete confidence in him and felt totally comfortable leaving Luna with him since our first booking. He provides updates frequently with photos and videos. Luna always had a blast when she is with Alex. He takes her on walks to the park, to play fetch, and keeps her entertained constantly. Alex is a gem!”

“Agne is wonderful! I was able to enjoy my trip without worries knowing that my dog was in such good hands. In every photo, it was clear that my dog was having a great time 💕 best sitter ever!”
“Five stars!!! Katerina was amazing. She just had her first walk with my hundred pound pure muscle German Shepherd mix. She came in with confidence and provided structure immediately. She calmed him down by giving him commands and treats and surprisingly he didn’t jump all over her like he normally does to guests. She gave him an awesome walk provided the cutest photos and I can tell will be the perfect structure he needs for walks. Super excited to book her for reoccurring walks in the future.”
“Olivia is a great dog walker! She genuinely cares for the pets and makes sure they're taken care of before she leaves them. My Daisy looked forward to her daily visits and got so excited to see her open the door to greet her. Would definitely reach out to Olivia again for future services. Daisy will be so happy to see her again!”
“Jessica did great. Boli can be a bit temperamental and she knew exactly how to calm him. They had a great walk, and she’ll be coming back to walk him this evening. I’m so glad she is helping us out . I recently had shoulder surgery so I cannot have my eager guy yanking on me. He is usually easy to manage but if he sees squirrels or raccoons, all bets are off!”
“Emily was great! I booked her day-of on a holiday weekend in a bind and she was super fast to respond, asked clarifying questions to make sure things went smoothly, and then sent lots of pics and reported back on how things went. She even stayed over a few minutes to make sure our dog went potty which was much appreciated. We will definitely use her again for dog walking!”
“I didn't get to meet Halona in person, but my wife said she was very nice. Also, she was quick with responses when we were planning the walk for my dog. I will definitely contact her again! Thank you!”
“Susan has been walking our dogs 1-2x a week for at least 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier. Our dogs love her and Luna and look forward to their walks. Susan is very trustworthy!”
About: Every walk is a new experience for a dog, even if it's in familiar territory, and I enjoy helping a dog to have a great one. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for 30+ years and walked them in a professional sense for five.

For most of the year, I am available: Monday morning & evening; Tuesday morning & evening; Wednesday thru Friday mornings only; Saturday most of day; Sunday all day. In a client's home, I will follow the directions of the pet parent and leave it as I found it, as well as making sure the property is secure.

“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”

“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Kyra had a long stay at Yena's this time due to back to back trips and, as always, she kept me updated with daily videos and photos that reassured me that Kyra was happy and well. Kyra loves it at Yena's and I really appreciate having such a safe, happy, and reliable place for her to stay while we are away.”
“Sabrina has been a fantastic sitter for Riley, taking great care of him each time. Her reliability and warmth made the experience stress-free, and Riley always seemed happy and well cared for. Thanks Sabrina!”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Caio was great! Our dog is part of our family and we were sad to leave him, but Caio reassured us and made sure he was well taken care of! Caio made time during the week (before dropping off our dog) to meet him and his family, and get to know the environment. Our dog was initially scared of stairs, but Caio was very patient and taught him how to climb up and down the stairs. He constantly sent us pictures of our dog and provided us updates. Great experience!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.”
“This was our first time boarding our two golden retrievers and Virginie and Maxime were wonderful to my girls! They played with them, took them on walks, and included them in their family activities. They sent me pictures and videos so I knew that they were taken care of and having fun. I’ve already recommended them to two of my friends!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
About: Hi, I’ve been dog sitting for awhile. Usually for friends. I have 2 small dogs, 5lb yorkie/maltese 10yr, and 8lb Pomeranian mix 12yr. They’re walked regularly, and on weekends, I usually take my dogs hiking. If I make other plans, such as a beach bonfire or camping trip, my dogs come along with me. Your dogs are more than welcome to join. I also have a fenced backyard and beds available for them indoor and outdoors. They’re fully vaccinated. I also have a well behaved cat that wants no part of anything. Not even me! She does her own thing and is the sweetest when she wants attention. I have experienced with special needs dogs with seizures and those that need meds, even freshly neutered and spayed. I’m doing weekends for now. F-Sun. Unless you’re ok with them staying at my house while I’m at work. I’ll be hybrid soon. I’m willing to stay at your place or bring them over to mine. They have free range of the house except the rooms and the fenced backyard. My dogs have free range of their food, they eat when they’re hungry. But if your dogs are a set schedule, I can accommodate that. My dogs know they’ll be on a set schedule as well.
“Alex was able to watch Margaret over an extended period of time, covering the holidays, which we really appreciated as we had an international trip booked. We did not have to stress about Margaret during that time because Margaret was so well taken care of. In fact, she was sad when Alex dropped her off! During her stay with Alex, Margaret got lots of activity, leading to lots of (cute) and well-deserved naps and cuddles. Margaret says: Alex is the best!”
