Daisy will be so happy to see her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Intro Pricing: Half-hour Walks $20–22 · Extended Walks $30–35 · Drop-Ins $15–18 · Overnights $65–85 Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.

“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: I'm a responsible adult. I don't smoke or do drugs- never have. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I will treat your home & pets with the utmost care and respect- as if they were my own. I'm currently doing project work so my time is flexible for sitting or walks. I have always had pets in my life- fish, dogs, cats, hamsters, geckos- and they always bring joy to our household. Currently I am only sitting in client's homes in order to give your pets the care and attention they need. I am honest, trustworthy, and super responsive.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — from bouncy puppies learning the ropes to gentle seniors who just want some extra comfort and routine. My two Labradoodles, Isabelle and Ahsoka, have taught me patience, empathy, and how to read every pup’s unique cues. What sets me apart is my focus on understanding each dog’s individual needs. I pay close attention to body language, energy level, and comfort so your pet always feels safe and cared for. I’m also comfortable with special instructions — whether it’s medication, crate routines, or training reinforcement — and I always keep communication open with pet parents. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine — I start and end each day with walks on the nearby trails with Isabelle and Ahsoka, and we take play breaks throughout the day in our fenced yard. I work from home, so I’m around to give plenty of attention, potty breaks, and cuddle time. We have lots of plushie toys and enrichment games to keep pups happy and engaged indoors, and outdoor time for exercise and sunshine. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle play, or simply lounging with the pack, I make sure every day has the right balance of activity and rest. Safety and trust are my top priorities. At home, dogs are always supervised and have access to a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Isabelle and Ahsoka are both friendly, well-socialized dogs who help create a calm, positive pack dynamic for visiting pups. Inside, I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment with no hazards or off-limit areas left unattended. I follow each owner’s feeding, crate, and routine preferences closely, and I always do slow, supervised introductions when new dogs arrive. You can expect regular updates, photos, and full transparency so you know your pet is happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care.

“Taylor was wonderful. Always on time, loving and caring to our pups. She tolerated rain, cold and darkness. A real trooper and asset to your company. Would definitely ask for her again.”

“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I am a dedicated animal lover with 15 years of experience providing reliable and compassionate care, including walks, playtime, medication administration, and of course SNUGGLES! I have a beagle mix named Charlie, as well as 2 cats named Lucy and Linus, who all love other animals. My cats do have their own bedroom, incase your pet does not enjoy company of the feline variety. I have cared for elderly pets, diabetic pets, and small puppies. I believe it is very important for pets to stick to their normal routine, so while your pet is with me, I will do everything as you do it at your own home. When your pet is with me they will think they they are on vacation too! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am currently working part time at a dental office which is about 15 minutes from my home, so I can check on your pet regularly even when I am at work. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, our second bedroom is dedicated to the pets. We have a balcony with a potty patch and a very walkable neighborhood.

“Quinn and Kat were great with Boli! He was relaxed and happy after his walk. He had a great time exploring the golf course near my house. It was a joy to see them again. They are so kind and fun. No wonder my dog was happy!”

“Caitlin is the best! We have used Caitlin for daycare and dog walking. My dog is always so excited to see her (and her adorable dog, Buster). She always responds quickly and is great with communicating and sending pictures. I will definitely be using Caitlin again and recommend her to everyone!”
