Dog Walking Vineyards-Avalon

About: I have three dogs currently I am caring for, they are treated like my own kids oldest is 9 years old. Prior to adopting my first, I worked at Ace Animal Hospital as reception and a procedure care assistant. I work a full time job, but have plenty of time on the weekends and afternoons to play/walk with your pups. Open to reoccurring work where it makes sense, for your family. I am a good judge of animal temperament from my experience working at the vet, and can ensure that the experience will be beneficial to your family. I am adept in routine feeding, care administration, and active play with your doggos.

About: I grew up with my pup and I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind as well neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and hang out their pets! :) I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pups, whether it’s playing with them, taking them to the park, or whatever they need. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, so anytime works for me. I have had dogs as a big part of my life the last few years. I find the pets so rewarding to be around. I love caring and playing with them. I treat pets like anybody else, with kindness and care. I’ve been a dog mom for 15 years so I’m use to tending to one’s needs!

“We were out of town for a week and had Alex come to walk our 3yr old Labrador daily. Alex did a great job, followed instructions, and provided photos and walking route everyday. We would definitely book again with Alex.”

About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with cats, birds, and dogs. I've owned and cared for cats and birds, which has given me a strong understanding of their daily needs, behaviors, and personalities. I have also provided in-home care for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends when needed. My availability makes it easy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I also offer in-home pet sitting, which allows your pet to remain in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. Staying in a familiar environment can help reduce stress and anxiety while you're away, giving your pet the comfort and consistency they deserve. I'm committed to providing attentive, reliable care that fits both your schedule and your pet's individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own and always leave it clean and tidy. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience.

About: My experiences comes from having dogs & cats for most of my lift and fostering animals through shelters and rescues. As a pet parent, I understand how nerve-wrecking it can be to place your baby in someone's care, which is why your peace of mind is my top priority. I aim to give your pet the attention and quality time they deserve while ensuring you feel comfortable and confident that they're in great hands! I'm usually available from 9am-7pm Sunday through Friday. I'm happy to accommodate both one-time requests and regular clients. If you need help outside of my availability, we can chat. I’m very detail-oriented and will follow your care instructions to a T. I’ve also learned from behaviorists how to properly introduce myself to help pets feel comfortable around new people. I’m happy to keep you updated and communicate as much as you’d like for your peace of mind!

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats since they were kittens and they are about 8 years old now. I’ve also dog sit for friends and family while they’re were out on vacation. Love of fur babies! Wish I had a bigger place to own a dog. For now, I’m okay with getting all my dog love from dog sitting! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule so I don’t have a problem with scheduling. As long as it’s communicated to me a day prior so I can prep for the visit :) I can try to fulfill any specific care requests if needed as long as the client provides full care details. I want to make sure your fur baby is taken care of the way they like it!

“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”

About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he turned 7 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

I have extra time to care for your pets on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday, and the weekends. I care for your pets in your home as if they are family.

I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident they’re in good hands! My availability is very flexible! I’m available Monday through Friday after 2 PM, and I’m open anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. During the summer months, especially June and July, my schedule is even more open, allowing for greater flexibility to care for your pets whenever needed.

About: I understand leaving your pet is hard already. You will receive daily updates, photos, and videos—so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. 💝 I love being active and going on walks, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. Whether it’s morning jogs or relaxed evening strolls, I enjoy keeping pets engaged, exercised, and happy. I have a calm, pet-friendly home, and I build my day around caring for furry guests—feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. Their comfort and happiness are always part of my daily rhythm.

About: I adopted my dog at 6 weeks old and he has not gotten out of the puppy phase until he was 4 years old. Throughout those years I've learned to redirect his attention onto something else using treats and words that he can understand. I handle more active/ hyper dogs well during walks and occasionally like to run with them too to burn some energy. Im currently a full- time student with the afternoons free everyday. I have no class on Tuesday and Thursday so I can my spend time with dogs full-time those days! As well as weekends. I like to prioritize enrichment/play and food when I care for a pet because feeding time varies based on each animal. Play time is also important because it's their enrichment time and it is what will tire the pet the best way possible at the end of the day. Play time also allows me to bond with the pet and enjoy my time doing so. I find it be the most rewarding part of taking care of pets.

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience with puppies, rescues, seniors, and anxious pets. I build trust through patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, making every pet feel safe and at home. I grew up with a black lab since the day I came home from the hospital. She was a black lab who lived til 14. She passed away playing fetch up northern Minnesota due to a heart attack playing fetch in the lake. She entered heaven doing her greatest love. There has always been peace to that. In 2020 I rescued Aspen. She is a Great Pyrenees, English mastiff, and laborador retriever. She saved my walks by allowing me to take her for two hour long walks a day at a nearby regional trail during the pandemic. I taught her how to swim, pray, shake, kiss, and potty. From the teething puppy stage to the nap loving 5 year old stage, I have adored witnessing her transition through it all. Though she rests hard, she plays harder. When I moved to San Jose with my partner, Lucy, my 11 year old Maltese joined the family. She is full of eye boogers, but even more full of love and warm cuddles she loves long walks up to even 4 miles. Aside from that, I quickly made a name for myself as a dog sitter in San Jose. Through connections, I have landed opportunities to watch one elderly and one 5 year old red lab overnight in Monterey, five other primary dogs in the east bay from a 1 year old rescue lab, to a shy and night loving cat, to a 3 year old rescued German Sheppard, to a highly intelligent greyhound, and a foster Samoyed turned adopted puppy who went from shy, severely underweight and timid, to strong, smiley, and full of chatter. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs midday walks, overnight stays, or extra companionship, I can easily adapt to their routine and give them the time, attention, and exercise they deserve. I maintain your pet’s routine with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medications if needed, and personalized care. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular photo updates.

About: I have vet office experience and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I'm familiar with all kinds of pets, from giant dogs to the tiniest kittens (and other small animals like rabbits and reptiles!) and all of life's stages. I'm comfortable administering medications and strive to keep you updated on your furbaby's wellbeing while you're away. I'm currently between full time work, so have more time to spend with your furbabies! I'm available most weekends and happy to help for those longer trips. Safety is my top priority! Making sure your pets are comfortable and cared for to your standards and for your peace of mind while you are away is what I strive for.

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD.

I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting.

Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.
