Dog Walkers in Vanguard, CA

“Keryn has been walking my puppy, Sadie, daily and for special events, for about 1.5 months. She's a fantastic walker -- reliable, communicative, and loving with my "shy to new people" doggy. I highly recommend Keryn.”

About: From tiny chihuahuas to great pyrenees mixes, puppies to seniors, I’ve cared for dogs across all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Some need playtime and belly rubs, others need special diets or a gentle routine. I’ve worked with both healthy dogs and those with mild medical needs, and I always adapt to meet their individual pace and comfort. My experience with pets spans years through volunteering, helping friends and family, and raising my own sweet girl Opal, who has since passed. Since then, caring for other people’s pets (and fostering a few) has become a way to keep that love present in my life. I work a regular 8–5 job, but I’m available most weekends and can often make weekday visits work with a little notice. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a cozy overnight sitter, I’ll show up with kindness, patience, and care. Availability • Weekends: Fully available • Weekdays: 4am- 7am and 6pm-10pm If alternative hours are needed, please feel free to share and I will do my best to adjust! I create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention while maintaining a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise.

About: Our pets are such an important part of our life and making sure they are well taken care of when we can't be with them let's us not have to worry about them when we have a long day at work or travel! I can pop in and check on your furry friends and make sure they are happy and healthy in their own home as well as make sure they get the playtime and exercise they need. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child and as an adult I've been able to raise two dogs from the time they were puppies. Young pups or senior pups, I've experienced the different stages and I've loved them through it all. More recently we've been adopted by two cats, one that showed up as a kitten almost two years ago and another that showed up a few months ago and just came in and made herself at home. I've also loved my family's dogs of all sizes from a sassy little westie to a golden retriever. I've cared for friend's cats and dogs as well and always made sure that they were happy and safe. I know that leaving our pets at home isn't always easy. I would make sure your furry friends get the attention they need, whether it's a nice walk or some playtime. I'm here to make sure they feel loved! I work part time and have the ability to pop in and check on your furry friends in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can take them on walks in the mornings or evenings (as long as it's not too hot for them). On weekends, I'm also available to take them out for long morning walks or even the dog park if they like that! Of course, I will always respect your home! Depending on which services your pet needs, this could include making sure your pets are well taken care of with fresh food and water, some playtime, and some walks. If your pets have had an accident I will clean up after them. I would also clean up after them in the yard, as needed.

“Shawn was great, booked him for a week. My two dogs had no issues w/ him, nor did he have issues with them. Shawn was very nice & attentive to their needs. From bathroom breaks to water breaks Shawn handled it. If the doggies were low on food/water he took care of it. He walked the dogs on various routes within the neighborhood to keep them interested. Thanx again Shawn for your help and nurturing. I WILL definitely book again in the future.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of animals throughout my entire life, and even raised my 3 current frenchies from birth! I learned a lot about the medical side of taking care of puppies & senior dogs, such as injecting / orally administering medications.

I am proud to have earned their trust and to consistently receive positive feedback. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your pet can always have my full attention.

I offer a fully fenced, dog-safe backyard for supervised play time or relaxation. My three small French Bulldogs can be securely crated or separated to provide a calm environment if needed. I also live near two parks with trails that are perfect for energetic pups who love extra walks and outdoor time.

About: Having grown up in constant close companionship with animals for my entire life, I have a deep innate understanding of their language and behavior. I have a general love and fascination with the nuances of animal lives and the ways that they connect to their human companions - this fascination leads me to be constantly seeking out evidence-based information, so that I continue to grow as an animal caretaker. I work an intense job with flexible hours, enabling me to do some intermittent daytime pet support if the location is close enough. I'm most available in the evenings and on weekends. Some days there are crises that can delay my pet care up to one hour, but I have never had any animal be anywhere near neglected while in my care. I find working with any and all animals to be incredibly healing, so this is not extra work for me - no matter what, I bring my entire heart with me to care for your animals. I have found that each individual person & pet has their own needs for comfort, security, and trust. Always bringing my basic foundation of kindness, attention, collaboration and respect, I will quickly get to know you and your pets so that I can provide the best care for them and be as easy as possible to work with for you!

About: I’m passionate about providing the best care for pets, no matter their age or needs. From my experience caring for Paris, who required medication on a schedule, I’ve learned the importance of attention to detail and consistency. I’m adaptable and enjoy creating a safe, enriching environment for pets to feel at home.

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure, pet-proofed areas for play and rest. I keep all harmful substances out of reach, and my space is designed to be cozy and calming for all pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, including their preferences and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, ensuring a familiar and stress-free environment. I communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and reassurance. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved every moment of their stay.

“Zivon was such a pleasure to work with. We met up the day before to go over a game plan and so she could meet the dogs (one was my dog the other my moms). This wasn't the average situation and she was willing to just go with the flow and adjust as needed. She kept me updated with messages and pictures and eased my worry about leaving my dog for so long. I would use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.”

“Andrea did an awesome job. The pups were excited to go on their day walks.”

About: I have alway grown up with dogs always being part of our family. I’ve always had a lot of love for animals and have always enjoyed being around them. I always try my best to make sure that every dog I come across gets enough love. I am currently a full-time college student meaning that there will be days where I cannot pet sit. I am always available on weekends and Mondays since I do not have classes on those days. I have a dog of my own, a chihuahua terrier mix, that I take care of everyday. I walk her every morning before leaving to class, my mom will walk her in the afternoon when I do have classes otherwise I would walk her in the afternoon, and I also walk her at night around 7-8pm. I make sure she always has food and water, always gets attention, and make sure she is not smelly.
