Dog Walking in Richmond

“Deborah was an angel to work with! My dog could immediately tell she was a dog person. Took to her like a fish to water. He came back in an amazing mood, ready for a nap. So grateful and appreciative!!!”

“I really appreciate Nathan’s walks with Cody! Nathan is very professional and dependable. Cody loves his walks with him, and comes back happy and relaxed!”

“Mason did a terrific job with Baxter. He was attentive and took his time allowing Baxter to sniff and pee. Baxter clearly bonded with Mason, giving him the interim use of one of his plush toys before Mason left. I highly recommend Mason. Gale Justin”

“Lili is wonderful. She took the time to do a meet and greet and really got to know our dogs before the first walk. We got lots of pictures and happy dogs after their walk. Highly recommend!”

“Brenda was awesome. We were so lucky she was available last minute and made everything so easy for us. She sent us great updates with lots of photos. Best of all, we could tell she really loved our dog and took great care of him. Highly recommend.”

“Kristina is an awesome person and has been wonderful as our dog walker in the past. She really helped build a layer of trust with our pup, that we didn’t have before we met her!”

“Laurena is very responsible and was great with walking our young, energetic pup. She also was accommodating of changes in my schedule. Highly recommend!”

“Kristian has done a great job walking our dog Heidi on a semi-regular basis. He is flexible and very reliable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”

“Alysse dog set for my two dogs - Echo & Rocky. She is responsible and loving care giver. She provides them with lots of exercise, fun & games. She is great in communicating with me on how they are doing and sends me pictures of them periodically. I trust her with my fur babies.”

“I've known Cyrille for at least 4 years now and I've seen firsthand how much she loves her own dog Maggie and how well she treats her. We've gone on many hikes together with Maggie and Cyrille always checks in on how Maggie is feeling, providing snacks and water to Maggie as needed. Cyrille also cleans up after Maggie when duty calls, so this shows how much Cyrille also cares about the environment. Cyrille would be an excellent pet caregiver for anyone's pets!”

“Kenny is what some would call a pet whisperer. His calm demeanor is mirrored through the dogs that are lucky enough to be cared for by him. I trust him with my dog any and everyday.”

“Pat was flexible and responsive.”

“Good communication and sense of humor. Accommodated my dogs needs even if they didn’t fully align with the Rover plan. I booked a walk but my girl decided she didn’t want to and Leslie hung out with her in the yard and gave her cuddles and attention instead.”

About: I know how much of a positive impact our pets make in our life and that’s why it’s so important to have quality care that our pets deserve. When working with pets, I am calm and patient, especially to those who may be sensitive to any change. I’ve had experience fostering pets, pet and home sitting, dog walking and I have experience with administering medication. I’ve worked with pets that require more attention as well as with pets that have other specific care needs. I currently work part- time so I have a lot of flexibility scheduling wise. I am available most weekends as well. If you have any scheduling questions, I am more than happy to answer. I know that pets are sensitive to change and need to maintain their schedule as much as possible, so I keep that in mind while spending time with them. It’s important to learn about their personalities and make them feel comfortable wherever they are.

About: During high school and college I worked both at a pet store (2years), a kennel (1year) and a vet clinic (4 years). During that time I would house sit, and do drop ins. I learned a lot about dog breeds, dog behavior, and general animal care. I can also care for birds, small mammals, reptiles and fish. I have personally owned at least 1 dog and 1 cat my whole life. Currently I own 1 of each. In my free time I love to go to Point Isabelle with my dog Pono, a French Bulldog. You can catch me out there at least 5 times a week walking my dog and loving on other dogs. I live in El Cerrito and work in Berkeley, so I spend about equal time in both areas. I currently WFH 3x week, so I can work animal care into my schedule. When I do go into work it is generally at my discretion so I am flexible. Loving care, based on your specifications. I do have a respectful 10 year old that I will likely bring with me. I would like to impart a sense of responsibility and work ethic.

“I’ve used Melany over and over again whenever we’re not in town. She’s always great and go above and beyond. Thank you very much for everything and will definitely use Melany again for future use. Thanks”

“He was an exceptional dog sitter for my furry friend. I received updates and photos which I greatly appreciated. It warmed my heart that my dog was happy enjoying her walk while being with him. The attentiveness and dedication really showed when they spent time together. Leaving me with a complete peace of mind while I was away. Moreover, he ensured my dog felt comfortable and secured. He is a very trustworthy and caring individual to look after your furry friend.”

“Amy is great with my dog Max. He's always so happy when she comes to take him on a walk, and he's definitely getting good exercise to sleep away the rest of the afternoon. Amy is very kind and great to work with and coordinate.”

“We are just starting with weekly walks and Harold has been very patient with Penny who is nervous and not ready to leave the house with a stranger yet. He has given her space and has not pressured her. Very appreciative.”

“I've know him for quite some time now, he's very reliable, responsible and pet friendly. I think he fits the position perfectly. Such a great guy!”
