“Olga is very good! Really do like her but communication could have been done better since I gave clear instructions in advance, nothing wrong with this at though!”

“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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years, including my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Friends and family regularly rely on me for boarding, walks, and overnight care. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also familiar with feeding routines, basic training, and handling different energy levels. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs in a home setting and always prioritize supervision, routine, and comfort. I can accommodate crate training if needed and will follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“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’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, both my own and those of family and friends. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including pets with specific routines or extra care needs. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I’m able to provide. I’m flexible, reliable, and don’t have other major obligations, which means your pet will receive my full, undivided attention while they’re with me. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood in Walnut Creek in a one-story home with a gated backyard and grass, perfect for playtime and relaxation. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood to keep them active and happy. You can expect a calm, loving, and attentive environment where your pet will be treated like family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I currently have full availability and no other work obligations. This allows me to be fully present and attentive, giving each pet the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I’m available most days of the week and can easily accommodate different schedules, routines, and last-minute needs. I’m happy to care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on your needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and giving them companionship so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means active play and exercise or a more calm, gentle approach for pets who prefer a quieter environment. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, or special care routines. If caring for pets in my home, they’ll be in a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard with grass, which provides a secure space for dogs to play, explore, and get fresh air. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while also giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in reliable and loving hands.
About: I’ve literally never lived without a pet — cats and dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them feels second nature. I offer thoughtful cat care and reliable dog walks, with an approach that’s calm, observant, and tailored to each pet’s personality. I know cats need patience and routine 😌, while many dogs thrive on consistent walks and positive energy. My goal is simple: you feel relaxed while you’re away, and your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I currently work from home and can bring my laptop with me if need be but I also have plenty of time in between my calls/tasks to dedicate time to the care of your pet :) I have time and I’d love to do it spending time with your pets. I show up ready to give your pets calm, attentive care — feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, walks, and playtime as they like it. I let cats lead the interaction and follow dogs’ routines, making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I send updates (and photos!) so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

Walnut Creek dog parents share their Rover experiences
We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!

Emily was on time, and asked thoughtful questions around how Ronnie walks, potty breaks, harness, snacks, and what I recommend when it the temperature is too hot for a typical walk. I could tell she has dogs and takes good care of them. Ronnie came back so happy and gave her a ton of kisses showing that he trusted her on the walk! Already booked follow up walks!

Selena S is amazing ! I needed help after I injured my ankle and couldn’t walk my dog Vito! Selena was so great in helping me feel comfortable about her walking my dog Vito. Selena is reliable, studious in the way she made contact for the times that was scheduled and great with Vito! Vito took to Selena immediately, he has great instincts! When she was schedule to come, I would tell him a few minutes before and he would stare out the window for her arrival! I would highly recommend her and be grateful to have her back again when we needed!
