Dog Walking Vineyards-Avalon

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. Dogs and cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they want an extra walk, a game of fetch, plenty of cuddles, or just someone to quietly hang out with, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved until you're home. Caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, so I can plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and making sure pets get the time and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and, of course, hanging out with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I also have my own dog and she gets daily walks, a lot of playtime, and a lot of love! I know pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as familiar as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, or just spending quality time with your pet. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you know they're happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Thanks for taking Acorn for his walk today!”

“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.”

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”

“Alani is hands down one of the nicest people I have met in a while, and my two dogs fell completely in love with her! I broke my leg while my husband was out of town and was unable to walk my dogs and she literally came to my rescue. She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”

“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”

About: I am Guang, aka Mia. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I only take one client at a time to ensure full attention and care. I have a 4-year-old black and white Border Collie girl who is playful, gentle, and very well-trained. She never makes a mess at home and enjoys her daily runs and ball games in the park with her dog friends. I’ve been around animals literally my whole life — growing up, our family always had pets. Over the years, I’ve had three cats and four dogs, each with their own personalities and stories. I’ve also helped friends board their fur babies and done home visits/drop-in visit for cats and received good reputation. Training my Border Collie taught me patience, structure, and how to communicate calmly with all kinds of pets. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy kitty, I treat every animal with love, respect, and care, just like family. 🐶🐱💛 I start my day early and finish work early. I’m available for home visits in the mornings and after 3 PM on weekdays. Weekends and holidays work for me as well. I offer home visits, dog walks, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Walks are always one-on-one, and your pet won’t meet mine unless you approve. Home staying for pets are only for weekend and holidays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s what I genuinely love to do every day. Safety and comfort always come first. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to create safe boundaries. I also follow your pet’s care routine closely and will send pet pictures to you.

About: As a devoted pet owner and animal lover, I understand that pets are more than just animals- they’re family. For the past 15 years I’ve cared for my beloved husky through every stage of life, giving me firsthand experience with senior pet care, patience, and understanding unique needs I offer flexible scheduling throughout the day and evening to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or overnight care, I’m available to help keep your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I carefully follow your pet’s routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and ensure their safety and well-being are always my top priorities. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive compassionate care while your home remains clean, secure, and well cared for during your time away.

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.

“Thanks for taking care of Walter, and for the great updates along the way last week!”

About: Kiki brings me so much companionship and warmth. Every time I come home from work, the way it wags its tail and runs over is really healing. Keeping a dog can change the pace of your life, but at the same time, it also adds a lot of joy to it. Teddy is a curly haired dog, and not shedding hair is an advantage, but it also means that he needs to take care of his hair regularly! Natural low salt dog food, occasionally I add some chicken breast, egg yolk or carrots to it. I am very careful not to let him come into contact with the following "blacklist foods": chocolate, grapes, onions, milk, etc., which are harmful to dogs! Throwing and catching the ball: the simplest and most effective way, I always have a great time playing Doudou Hide and Seek: I will hide in my room and wait for it to come looking for me. If it finds me, it will wag its tail fiercely Finding Snacks: Hide small snacks in the crevices of the sofa or under the cushion, let it use its nose to find them, exercise its sense of smell and avoid boredom Perform tasks such as feeding, walking, and scooping feces according to the owner's requirements Avoid making pets feel unfamiliar or anxious, and maintain a daily rhythm of life Do not touch household items at will to ensure customer privacy and safety Daily job responsibilities may include: Change water and feed (dry/wet/homemade food) Cleaning cat litter/dog poop Simple companionship interaction (caressing, toys, cat teaser sticks, etc.)

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: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover and very understanding of animal behavior. Growing up we always had dogs and now as an adult I’m a full on cat lady with two of my own. So you can say I know how to adjust to both whether it’s a crazy puppy or a fiesty cat, I’ve never had an issue. I love my pets like they’re my kids and I hope I can show your animals the same love! I currently have my availability pretty much completely open right now. Other than taking care of my own pets, I can be available to take care of others whenever! I will work with whatever set up and routine you already have for your pet to make sure they are cared for in the best way possible.

“Adrianna was amazing like always! She walked and fed our dogs Koda and Cleo and sent us great pictures and updates! Our dogs get excited to her and we will definitely be requesting her to walk our dogs again! :)”

About: I'm a very reliable, patient, and positive person who has over 5 years of experience professionally caring for pets. I worked at Unleashed by Petco for 3 years as the Dog and Cat Department Manager. I have also volunteered at pet vaccination clinics helping to administer the injections to dogs and cats. With me, your pets will receive appropriate care, and I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your loved ones. I work as a realtor and solar consultant. Since I make my own work schedule, I will have plenty of time available for your pets. I currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment on the third floor. I also have a 5 year old Bengal cat at home who loves humans.

“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: Since I was young, I have always loved dogs and cats. My Dad always referred to our house as Noah’s Ark because we always had so many animals. I received this love for animals from my mother. She had a gift for raising animals for very long periods of time and loved them like they were her children. She called them her fur babies and I have since followed in her foot steps. I love dogs that play fetch and cats, along with their attitude and personality. We spend time walking, playing with and laying around with our family dogs - we have three! Fury is our Chihuahua who loves to sleep all day and cuddle. Bo, our Rottie mix who enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. And our playful pup Gus, who loves to eat! Our sons also love dogs and enjoy having guest dogs around! We love animals and will treat yours as we do ours, as part of the family. My wife works from home and has time to care for and play with your fur babies! She will feed them, take them for walks and gives your dog(s) free reign of the house and yard. I have a locked and fenced atrium and backyard … and three wonderful dogs to keep them company! When it’s warm, the back slider is left open for the dogs to freely go in and out as they please. There is plenty of room for them to run around out back, front and side. They sleep whenever they’re most comfortable and can hang out on the couch or wherever they chose. As mentioned earlier, they very quickly become a part of our extended family! Since I work from home, I have time to care for, and play with your pets! We can follow the same routine they have at home. We have a fenced atrium and backyard as well as three active dogs to keep your fur babies busy! They have free reign of the home and can play or rest where they’re most comfortable!

“He communicated well and took care of our pup Shadow, the way we asked him to”
